The relationship between asthma and depression in a community-based sample.
Article in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
objectiveAsthma is an increasingly prevalent disease that is associated with substantial physical and financial burdens. Additionally, asthma is linked to psychiatric disorders. This study examines the relationship between asthma diagnosis, current depressive symptoms, and lifetime psychiatric disorder history in a large, community-based sample.
methodsWe analyzed data from 2168 participants in the Dallas Heart Study, a large, diverse, community-based sample of people designed to be representative of the Dallas County population. Logistic regressions analyzing the relationship between asthma diagnosis and history of a psychiatric disorder, as well as between asthma diagnosis and the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) scores were performed, controlling for demographic data.
results13.4% of the sample had an asthma diagnosis. Asthma diagnosis was significantly associated with a history of nervous, emotional, or mental health disorder diagnosis [OR 1.810 (95% CI 1.280-2.559) p = 0.001], and with QIDS scores consistent with moderate or greater current depressive symptom severity [OR 1.586 (95%CI 1.106-2.274) p = 0.012]. The relationships were not moderated by age, gender, race, smoking status, or Body Mass Index.
conclusionsA diagnosis of asthma may be associated with current clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms and a lifetime psychiatric disorder. The current report adds to the existing literature in this area by assessing both current and lifetime symptoms and by using a large and diverse population. The findings highlight the clinical importance of considering the possibility of psychiatric illness in asthma patients and suggest further research in this area is needed.
