Uncovering distinct predictors of diabetes distress and depressive symptoms in a longitudinal survival analysis of incidence and remission: indication for diverging aetiological paths.

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
aims/hypothesisThe aim of the study was to examine the course of diabetes distress and depressive symptoms and their predictors of incidence and remission in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
methodsData were collected every 6 months over a 24 month period. Participants (n=654) completed measures of diabetes distress (Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale) and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire 8). Cox proportional hazards models were applied to examine predictors of incidence and remission, considering demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors. All predictors were assessed at baseline, except for HbA
resultsDiabetes distress showed cumulative incident cases in 21% of the sample and a remission rate of 70% across 24 months. For depressive symptoms, cumulative 24 month incidence was 33% and remission was 67%. The median onset time was 18 months for diabetes distress and 24 months for depressive symptoms; the median remission time for both was 6 months. Higher HbA CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationSuboptimal glycaemic outcomes predicted both diabetes distress and depression; however, diabetes distress was associated with anxiety disorders, whereas depressive symptoms were linked to prior depression and eating disorders, hinting at distinct aetiologies.
