Associations of Gender, Smoking, and Stress with Transitions in Major Depression Diagnoses.
Article in The Yale journal of biology and medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Using data from the newly available U.S. National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC; Wave 3; n = 36,309), we evaluated relationships among gender, cigarette smoking status (current, former, non-smoker), life event stress (0-1 vs. 2+ events), and their impact on transitions in major depression diagnosis (MDD; new vs. absent cases; ongoing vs. remit cases). Women who were both current and former cigarette smokers with more than two stressful events had higher rates of new MDD diagnosis compared to men who were current or former smokers with two or more stressful events. Current smoking and experiencing two or more stressful events increased the odds of having an ongoing MDD diagnosis, while being a former smoker decreased these odds. Results suggest that smoking and stress are markers for depression risk in women and should help guide clinical assessment as well as gender-difference research on the biological underpinnings of these conditions.
