Social capital, depressive symptoms, and perceived quality of care among hypertensive patients in primary care.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDepression is an important issue in the management of hypertension. However, little attention has been paid to addressing such aspects of psychological health among patients with hypertension. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms among patients with hypertension in primary care settings and to identify the potential role of social capital in predicting depressive symptoms. The influence of psychological well-being on the perceived quality of hypertensive care was also examined.
methodsIn Shenzhen, China, an on-site cross-sectional study was conducted from March to September 2017. In total, 1046 respondents completed a face-to-face survey interview. We examined the associations between social capital, depressive symptoms, and perceived quality of care.
resultsThe results showed that 10.7% of patients with hypertension who attended primary care facilities had depressive symptoms. Two components of social capital-social ties (9.63 vs. 10.67; OR = 1.314, 95% CI 1.165-1.483; P < .001) and trust (3.46 vs. 3.89; OR = 2.535, 95% CI 1.741-3.691; P < .001)-were protective factors for depression among patients with hypertension in primary care settings. We also found that depressive symptoms were negatively associated with perceived quality of care (30.5 vs. 32.5; β = 1.341, 95% CI 0.463-2.219; P = .003)..
conclusionsWe found inverse associations between depressive symptoms and perceived quality of care and between social capital and the occurrence of symptoms of depression. Our findings suggest that strategies addressing both hypertension and depressive symptoms should be implemented to better manage hypertension. Appropriate social interventions should be designed and implemented.
