Depression Severity, but Not Cognitive Impairment or Frailty, is Associated with Disability in Late-Life Depression.
Article in Clinical gerontologist. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesAssess the relationship of cognitive impairment to disability, accounting for depression severity and frailty, among older adults with late-life depression (LLD).
methodsData were analyzed from 78 community-dwelling older adults with LLD and without dementia (age
resultsThe average number of impaired cognitive tests was 2.0 (
conclusionsIn this sample, only depression severity was associated with increased disability. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These findings have implications for intervention in LLD, as depression severity may represent a more modifiable risk factor for disability.
