The association of different types of physical activity and diabetes co-morbid depression: A cross-sectional analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDiabetes co-morbid depression is a significant public health burden. Physical activity (PA) has been suggested as a potential approach to reduce the risk of diabetes co-morbid depression. Different types of PA may have different effects on diabetes co-morbid depression.
objectiveThe aims of this study were to investigate the association between moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), different types of physical activity, including work activity (WPA), transportation physical activity (TPA), recreational physical activity (RPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and co-morbid depression in participants with diabetes. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe data for this study were derived from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A total of 642 participants aged 20 years and above were included in the study (mean age: 63.54 ± 12.08 years; 367 males and 275 females). Depression was screened by PHQ-9 in participants who were told to have diabetes by a doctor. PAs were screened by GPAQ. A binary logistic regression model was performed to analyze the association of RPA and diabetes co-morbid depression.
resultsThe causal relationship between MVPA and diabetes co-morbid depression did not reach a significant level (P=0.949), nor did it reach in WPA (P=0.203), TPA (P=0.299) and SB (P=0.219). RPA had a significant effect on diabetes co-morbid depression (OR=0.508, 95%CI: 0.347-0.742, P<0.001), the effect remained significant after adjusted for confounding variables (OR=0.522, 95%CI: 0.356-0.789, P=0.002).
conclusionsAmong the various types of physical activity, only RPA was a protective factor for co-morbid depression in diabetes.
