Association Between Cognitive Frailty and Depression: A Prospective Cohort Study of Adults Aged 45 Years and Older in China.

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
Background: The interplay between cognitive frailty and depression remains inadequately understood, with a paucity of evidence from prospective cohort studies. Our study aims to elucidate the relationship between cognitive frailty and the risk of incident depression. Methods: Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) spanning 2011, 2013, and 2015, subjects were classified according to cognitive frailty criteria established by an international consensus panel. Multiple logistic regression models were employed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between frailty, cognitive impairment, cognitive frailty, and depression. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted to identify potential effect modifiers. Results: In 2011, the study encompassed 4514 participants, with 2330 individuals followed up through 2015. Cross-sectional analyses revealed that participants classified in frailty, cognitive impairment, and cognitive frailty exhibited multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for depression of 1.87 (95% CI 1.60-2.18; P < 0.001), 1.97 (95% CI 1.58-2.47; P < 0.001), and 3.38 (95% CI 2.66-4.29; P < 0.001), respectively, compared to no diseased group. Longitudinal analyses from 2011 to 2015 indicated that participants in frailty, cognitive impairment, and cognitive frailty had multivariable-adjusted ORs of 1.28 (95% CI 1.05-1.58; P = 0.0165), 1.39 (95% CI 1.01-1.91; P = 0.0411), and 1.57 (95% CI 1.05-2.35; P = 0.0273), respectively, for new-onset depression relative to no diseased group. Limitations: The definition of depression relied solely on self-reported data. Conclusion: In the middle-aged and elderly Chinese population, patients with cognitive frailty have a higher risk of depression than those with only frailty and cognitive impairment. This may suggest that health care providers should pay more attention to the mental health of those patients with cognitive frailty.
