Depressive symptoms and the incidence of adult-onset asthma in African American women.
Article in Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundSome evidence suggests that depression may increase the risk of adult-onset asthma. No data are available for African American women, in whom the prevalence of depression and asthma is high.
objectiveTo conduct prospective analyses of the relation of depressive symptoms to asthma incidence in the Black Women's Health Study, a prospective cohort of US black women followed since 1995 with mailed biennial questionnaires.
methodsOf 31,848 participants followed from 1999 to 2011, 771 reported incident asthma. Depressive symptoms were ascertained on 1999 and 2005 follow-up questionnaires with the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). Participants rated the frequency of 20 symptoms. A score was calculated by summing the responses to all questions. Cox regression models were used to derive incidence rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals for 4 categories of the CES-D score in relation to incident asthma, adjusted for body mass index, smoking, and other covariates.
resultsThe multivariable incidence rate ratio in the highest category of CES-D score (≥ 33) compared with the lowest (<16) was 2.08 (95% confidence interval 1.58-2.74), with a significant trend (P < .0001). The incidence rate ratio was higher in women who took antidepressants, were current or former smokers, were not obese, and were at least 40 years old, although there were no statistically significant interactions.
conclusionA positive association was observed between CES-D score and the incidence of adult-onset asthma. If the hypothesis is confirmed, depression could contribute substantially to the burden of asthma in adults.
