1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purposeThe purpose of the study was to examine the association between socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and perceived social support among patients with a diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety and co-morbid medical conditions from rural south India.

methodsThe study was conducted in 49 PHCs in Ramanagara district, Karnataka, and included 2481 participants, who were 30 years or older with co-morbid CMD (Common Mental Disorder) and hypertension, diabetes or ischemic heart disease. Socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were collected, and instrumental, emotional and total social support, quality of life, severity of disability, depression and anxiety were measured via face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires.

resultsThe sample predominantly consisted of Hindu (98.5%) females (75%) in their middle to late adulthood. In multivariate models, age showed a significant curvilinear relation with all forms of social support (B = 0.001 and p < 0.05), and emotional social support (B = - 0.056, p = 0.004) was lower in employed than non-working participants. Household size was positively related to all forms of social support (B = 0.029 for instrumental, B = 0.022 for emotional, B = 0.025 for total social support, all p < 0.001). Quality of life was positively associated with all forms of social support (B = 0.019 for instrumental, B = 0.016 for emotional, B = 0.018 for total social support, all p < 0.001).

conclusionsFor this sample of outpatients diagnosed with both CMD and at least one comorbid medical condition in rural south India, greater household size was associated with better social support. The role of family in providing support can be utilized while designing interventions.
