Objective Job Demands of Oneself and One's Partner, and Depressive Symptoms. Evidence from a Nationally Representative Longitudinal Study.

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
backgroundJob characteristics are an important predictor of depressive symptoms. Recent research detected unemployment's spillover effects on spouses' depressive symptoms, but there is still a lack of studies that examine the association between objective job demands of oneself and one's partner and depressive symptoms.
methodsData were derived from the German Ageing Survey (DEAS), which is a representative sample that includes individuals aged 40 years and older. Psycho-social, physical, and overall job characteristics were assessed objectively, using a validated index developed by Kroll. Depressive symptoms were quantified by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).
resultsRegarding fixed-effects regression, we found no significant association between the own or the partner's job demands and depression among the total sample and among men. However, among women, both increasing psychosocial demands of one's own occupation and physical job demands of one's partner's occupation were related to higher levels of depression, as well as the partner's overall job demands.
conclusionsThe findings of the present longitudinal study highlight the association between job demands and depressive symptoms in women, but not in men, especially regarding the partner's employment characteristics. Efforts to reduce the burden of high job demands may be helpful. This could help alleviate depressive symptoms. In turn, geriatric giants caused by increased depressive symptoms, such as frailty, could be postponed.
