Depression among the general adult population in Jiangsu Province of China: prevalence, associated factors and impacts.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
purposeThis study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and to investigate its associated factors and impacts on daily life functioning among the general adult population in Jiangsu Province of China.
methodsAs part of the Jiangsu Provincial Survey on Chronic Disease and Behavioural Risk Factors (2010), a sample of 8400 community residents aged ≥ 18 years were recruited. Study data were collected through a questionnaire-administered face-to-face interview. Depression was measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire.
resultsThe estimated prevalence of depression was 0.56% (0.54% in men and 0.58% in women). Increased risk of depression was found to be associated with rural residents (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.33-3.78) and the comorbidity of chronic diseases (OR 3.83, 95% CI 1.33-11.02). Respondents with depression reported an average of 11.75 unhealthy days caused by physical illnesses and 8.31 unhealthy days by mood problems within the previous 30 days. Depression was also found to be related to worse self-ranked health status, worse relationships with families and lower life satisfaction.
conclusionsA low prevalence of depression was found in this population of China, though it is not clear the extent to which it reflects issues related to the measurement and/or other factors of the survey. Depression was found to be related to poorer health and poorer life functioning. Further research into the link between depression and access to mental health services in rural areas is necessary. Meanwhile, depression among chronic disease patients should be addressed in clinical settings, health plans and resources allocation.
