1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Depressive symptoms are often experienced by patients with arthritis and are correlated with poor health outcomes. However, the association between depressive symptoms and multidimensional factors (sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, health behaviors, and social support) among older patients with arthritis in China remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of depressive symptoms in older patients with arthritis in eastern China and identify the associated factors. Methods: We analyzed data of 1,081 older patients with arthritis using secondary data from 2014 to 2020 from a community-based ongoing study initiated in 2014 in eastern China. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was calculated, and univariate and multilevel logistic regression analyses were used to identify the associated factors. Results: The mean age of older patients with arthritis was 69.16 ± 7.13 years; 42.92% were men and 57.08% were women. The prevalence of depressive symptoms in older patients with arthritis was 14.99% (95% confidence interval: 12.91-17.26%), about 1.8 times higher than that in older adults without arthritis (8.49%, Conclusion: Screening for depressive symptoms is essential among older patients with arthritis, especially those who perceive themselves as having a poor economic status, are diagnosed at an earlier age, have multimorbidity, have limitations in activities of daily living, and live alone. The associations of age at arthritis diagnosis and dietary behaviors with depressive symptoms require further research.
