Gender-based depression factors of older adults living alone during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional and secondary data approach.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic negatively affected the mental health of older adults living alone. This study aimed to examine the differences in factors that influence depression among older adults based on gender. This study was a cross-sectional study employing the secondary data of 3581 older adults living alone at the early stage of COVID-19, collected from the 2020 Korea Community Health Survey, and used multiple linear regression analyses to identify factors associated with depression. We found that women had a higher level of depressive status than men. Low subjective health status was most significantly related to depression in both older men and older women. For women, body mass index and more changes in daily life due to COVID-19 were predictors of depression. Conversely, for men, a lower level of monthly income and smoking were significant predictors of depression. Depressive status caused by COVID-19 was likely to be frailer for older women who were living alone. There were differences in the factors related to depression due to COVID-19 by gender.
