Gender difference in rumination subtypes connecting to depression.
Article in Archives of women's mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe prevalence of depression is higher in women than in men. This may be because women are more prone to rumination. However, there is a lack of evidence about which rumination symptoms are most strongly associated with depression in women. According to the network theory of mental disorders, the complex interaction between different subtypes of rumination and depressive symptoms is confusing. We utilized the network analysis method to examine the connection between different subtypes of rumination and depressive symptoms across different gender groups and to investigate gender differences in rumination-depression networks.
methods798 Chinese university students (50.5% males and 49.5% females) completed The Rumination Response Scale (RRS) and The Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) scales via an online survey platform for this study. The networks were analyzed and built with scale dimensions as nodes.
resultsThe line graph indicates that the B (Brooding) and N (Negative attitude) nodes had the highest BEI values in the female group, whereas the R (Reflection) and N nodes had the highest BEI values in the male group.
conclusionThe findings revealed that males and females in the rumination-depression network had distinct rumination bridge nodes (male: Reflection; female: Brooding) but had a common depression bridge node (Negative attitude). The connection between different types of rumination and depressive symptoms was more pronounced in the female network. The findings enhance comprehension of gender disparities in the co-occurrence of rumination and depression, offering specific subtypes for targeted intervention in rumination.
