Combined influence of depression and low-grade inflammation on mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe relationship between depression and systemic inflammation as risk factors for mortality is not well understood and requires further investigation.
methodsPatients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) between July 01, 2015 to December 31, 2019, were analyzed and followed up until December 31, 2020. According to their status of depression (PHQ-9 score ≥ 5) and low-grade inflammation (hs-CRP level ≥ 3 mg/L), patients were divided into four groups (G1, without depression, nor inflammation; G2, with depression, without inflammation; G3, with inflammation, without depression; G4, with both depression and inflammation). We performed Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional analyses of mortality for the combined influence of depression and systemic inflammation in this cohort.
resultsDuring the mean follow-up of 36.3 ± 14.8 months, 73 deaths were recorded in 358 participants. Compared with patients in group G1, patients in group G2 and G3 carried 137% {hazard ratio (HR): 2.37, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06-5.23, p = 0.035} and 140% (HR: 2.40, 95% CI: 1.01-5.69, p = 0.048) higher risk of mortality. Patients in group G4 (with both depression and inflammation) showed the highest risks of all-cause mortality with 276% higher mortality risk (HR: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.73-8.15, p = 0.001), respectively.
conclusionThe combined of depression and inflammation is associated with all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients, suggesting a need for further study of depression and low-grade inflammation in PD patients and potential relationship between them.
