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
Depression is more common in many medical conditions than among the general population and is associated with an increased risk of mortality. We aimed to determine whether somatic symptoms of depression were more predictive of mortality than affective and cognitive symptoms in hemodialysis patients. We conducted a prospective cohort study in which the survival outcomes of 151 subjects were followed for more than 3 years. Depression was assessed with the Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire (TDQ). Subjects with TDQ scores 19-54 (correlated with clinically significant depressive symptoms) and those with scores 15-18 had higher 3-year mortality rates than the two groups with lower scores (40.0%, 46.7%, 16.0% and 19.6%, p = 0.021, ANOVA). Affective and cognitive symptoms, including sadness, tenseness, indecisiveness and low self-confidence, and one somatic item (bodily discomfort) were associated with mortality. Affective and cognitive symptoms affected quality of life more than somatic symptoms. The somatic subscale was associated with female gender, low income and education, dialysis vintage, and low serum creatinine and albumin levels, whereas the affective and cognitive subscale was associated with less education and a low serum albumin level. In conclusion, affective and cognitive symptoms of depression may better predict long-term mortality in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis than somatic symptoms.
