Hoarding Symptoms in Late Life Depression are Associated With Greater Executive Dysfunction and Disability and Poorer Response to Depression Treatment.

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
objectivesLate life depression (LLD) and hoarding disorder (HD) are common in older adults and characterized by executive dysfunction and disability. We aimed to determine the frequency of co-occurring HD in LLD and examine hoarding severity as an additional contributor to executive dysfunction, disability, and response to psychotherapy for LLD.
designCross-sectional.
settingOutpatient psychiatry program.
participantsEighty-three community-dwelling adults ages 65-90 with LLD.
interventionProblem-solving therapy. MEASUREMENTS: Measures of executive function, disability, depression, and hoarding severity were completed at post-treatment. Pearson's chi-squared tests evaluated group differences in rates of cognitive impairment, disability, and depression treatment response between participants with HD (LLD+HD) and LLD only. Separate linear regressions assessed associations between hoarding severity and executive function, disability, and psychotherapy response. Covariates included age, education, gender, and depression severity.
results30.1% (25/83) of LLD participants met HD criteria. Relative to LLD, LLD+HD participants demonstrated greater impairment rates on measures of executive function (Letter-Number-Sequencing, X
conclusionsWe found 30.1% co-occurrence of HD in LLD, which was accompanied by greater executive dysfunction, disability, and poorer response to depression treatment. Results underscore the need for increased screening of hoarding behaviors in LLD and tailored interventions for this LLD+HD group.
