Negative life events and depression by gender in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brazil).
Article in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 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
objectiveGender differences may interfere with the association between Negative Life Events (NLEs) and prevalent/incident depression. This study evaluated the effect of gender in this association using data from the ELSA-Brazil cohort.
methodsThe authors analyzed 15,088 participants (mean age, 52.1 (9.1), 54.4 % women). NLEs (robbery, hospitalization, death of a close relative, financial hardship, and rupture of a love relationship) were accessed at baseline. Depression was assessed at baseline and follow-ups. The authors built logistic (Odds Ratio [OR], 95 % Confidence Interval [95 % CI]) and Poisson regression models (Relative Risk [RR], [95 % CI]) to evaluate this association.
resultsWomen reported more NLEs compared to men. The authors found associations between NLEs and prevalent depression: for men, hospitalization (OR = 1.83; 95 % CI 1.16‒2.91), financial hardship (OR = 2.42; 95 % CI 1.69‒3.49), rupture of a love relationship (OR = 2.54; 95 % CI 1.50‒4.29), and any NLE (OR = 2.30; 95 % CI 1.59‒3.35); and for women, robbery (OR = 1.81; 95 % CI 1.31‒2.49), hospitalization (OR = 1.46; 95 % CI 1.11‒1.92), financial hardship (OR = 1.76; 95 % CI 1.43‒2.17), rupture of a love relationship (OR = 1.66; 95 % CI 1.20‒2.32), and any NLE (OR = 1.65; 95 % CI 1.34‒2.04). For incident depression only financial hardship (RR = 2.09; 95 % CI 1.55‒2.83) was associated with depression in men, while, for women, robbery (RR = 1.54; 95 % CI 1.16‒2.04); hospitalization (RR = 1.36; 95 % CI 1.07‒1.74), financial hardship (RR = 1.37; 95 % CI 1.14‒1.65), and any NLE (RR = 1.25; 95 % CI 1.04‒1.49) were associated with incident depression. No association was found between the death of a close relative and prevalent/incident depression.
conclusionNLEs were associated with depression in men and women, with a higher impact in the latter.
