The bidirectional association between the disability in activities of daily living and depression: a longitudinal study in Chinese middle-aged and older adults.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
aimDepression and disability in activities of daily living (ADL) are common in middle-aged and older adults. This study investigated the bidirectional relationship between depression and disability in ADL in Chinese middle-aged and older adults.
methodsData from a baseline study of 17,596 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and two follow-up visits at 4 and 7 years were included. We designed Study A and Study B to explore the interaction between depression and disability in ADL in middle-aged and older people.
resultsIndividuals with disability in ADL at baseline had adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 1.331 (1.118, 1.584) and 1.969 (1.585, 2.448) for developing depression compared with those without disability in ADL at the 4- and 7-year follow-ups, respectively. Individuals with depression at baseline had adjusted ORs of 1.353 (1.127, 1.625) and 1.347 (1.130, 1.604), respectively, for developing disability in ADL 4 and 7 years later.
conclusionsThere was a bidirectional relationship between depression and disability in ADL. Depression increased the risk of disability in ADL, but this risk did not increase with time, whereas the effect of disability in ADL on depression increased with time.
