Prevalence of Combined Somatic and Mental Health Multimorbidity: Patterns by Age, Sex, and Race/Ethnicity.
Article in The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers.
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
backgroundThe coexistence of chronic mental health conditions with somatic conditions (somatic-mental multimorbidity, or SMM) is common and has been associated with greater symptom burden and functional impairment, higher costs, and excess mortality. However, most existing literature focused on the co-occurrence of an index mental health condition with specific additional conditions. By contrast, we studied the prevalence and patterns of SMM more broadly considering 19 selected conditions, and we focused on differences by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.
methodsThe Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) records-linkage system was used to identify all residents of Olmsted County, MN, on April 1, 2010. We identified individuals with each of 19 common chronic conditions, including 5 mental health conditions, using the International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) codes received from any health care provider between April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2010.
resultsAmong the 138,858 residents of the county, 52.4% were women, and 7.9% had SMM. SMM increased steeply with older age, was 1.7 times more common in women, and was lower in Asians compared with whites. Of the 10,903 persons with SMM, 7,739 (71.0%) were younger than 65 years. Depressive and anxiety disorders were the most common conditions involved in SMM. The dyads that were observed more frequently or less frequently than expected by chance varied in composition by age and sex.
conclusionsSMM that reaches medical attention is highly prevalent across all age groups, is more frequent in women, is less frequent in Asians, and encompasses a wide range of conditions.
