Fecal incontinence was associated with depression of any severity: insights from a large cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveCurrent studies on the association between fecal incontinence (FI) and depression are very limited, and most of them are restricted to women or elderly patients. This study aims to evaluate in detail the association between FI and depression among US adults.
methods13,480 adults aged 20 years and older were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2010. Monthly loss of solid, liquid, or mucous stool was defined as FI. Clinical depression and depression severity were assessed by the validated Patient Health Questionnaide-9 (PHQ-9). Models of multivariate logistic regression were used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs). A subgroup analysis was carried out to ensure that the results were stable.
resultsAfter adjusting for covariates such as demographics, risk behaviors and associated comorbidities, the PHQ-9 score and clinical depression were both significantly associated with FI, with ORs and 95%CIs of 1.11 (1.10-1.13) and 3.01 (2.53-3.57). Depression of all severities was also significantly associated with FI. The ORs and 95%CIs of FI with mild depression, moderate depression, and moderately severe to severe depression were 2.29 (1.96-2.68), 3.44 (2.77-4.27) and 4.65 (3.61-6.00), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed no statistically significant interactions (P > 0.05).
conclusionsIn conclusion, FI significantly associated with depression of any severity. Like the elderly or female patients with FI, young and middle-aged or men with FI are also at high risk of depression and should also be the focus of depression screening and early intervention.
