The affective factors of depression symptoms in hypertensive patients and the protective effect of physical activity.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the potential affective factors of depressive symptoms in patients with hypertension and explore the protective effects of physical activity.
methods211 hypertensive patients aged over 18 years were consecutively recruited. All patients completed a self-designed questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to assess the coexistence of depressive symptoms, and psychiatrists were invited to diagnose depression when necessary. Full-night polysomnography was performed to detect the sleep pattern. The association between sleep structure and depressive symptoms was tested by using logistic regression analysis, and contributing factors as well as the effect of physical activity were assessed among patients with and without depressive symptoms.
resultsOf the 211 subjects, 33.6% of cases were coexistent with depressive symptoms. Female gender [OR (95%CI): 2.83 (1.44-5.57), P = 0.003) and the greater percentage of REM stage [OR (95%CI): 1.09 (1.01-1.18), P = 0.024] were the risk factors of depressive symptoms, while doing physical activity showed as the protective factor. Patients with REM stage ≥ 20% showed a higher score on HADS-D than those with REM stage < 20% [(4.9 ± 3.8) vs. (3.7 ± 3.1), P = 0.018]. Compared to individuals who never did physical activity, those who did physical activity 1-2 times per week and ≥ 3 times per week had a 52% and 62% risk reduction in depressive symptoms respectively. Patients who did physical activity had lower levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) compared to those who never did physical activity.
conclusionFemale gender and a higher percentage of REM stage are risk factors for depressive symptoms in hypertension, while physical activity may benefit depressive symptoms by reducing serum levels of hs-CRP.
