Bidirectional relationship between depressive symptoms and physical performance in community-dwelling older people with subjective memory complaints.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01513252 (A 2-years Extension Study of MAPT Trial), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study examined the bidirectional relationship between depressive symptoms and physical performance in community-dwelling older people with subjective memory complaints.
methodsSecondary analyses using data from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (MAPT) study were performed. The participants were 1679 subjects (female, 64.8%; mean age, 75.3 ± 4.4 years). The outcome measures were depressive symptoms assessed by the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and physical performance assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and handgrip strength (HGS). All measurements were performed at baseline and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months. The bidirectional relationships of GDS with SPPB and HGS were examined using mixed-effect regression analysis.
resultsBaseline physical performance was significantly associated with a decreased GDS score (SPPB score: β = - 0.210, 95% confidence interval [CI], - 0.283 to - 0.137; HGS: β = - 0.038, 95% CI - 0.056 to - 0.019). The baseline GDS score was significantly associated with decreased physical performance (SPPB score: β = - 0.082, 95% CI - 0.107 to - 0.056; HGS: β = - 0.261, 95% CI - 0.370 to - 0.152).
conclusionSince depressive symptoms and physical performance had a bidirectional relationship, prevention or improvement of decreased physical performance could play a role in reducing depressive symptoms, and addressing depressive symptoms may play a role in improving physical performance. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT01513252.
