Development of Multimorbidity Indexes Based on Common Mental Health Conditions.
Article in International journal of public health, 2025. 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
Objectives: Numerous multimorbidity indexes exist, focused primarily or solely on somatic conditions. We developed mental multimorbidity indexes as epidemiological tools. Methods: Participants in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort (73.5% women; mean age = 59.5 ± 13.7 years; index development N = 20,000; index comparison N = 7,259) completed self-report questionnaires (2020-2022) regarding depressive symptoms, anxiety, eating disorders, insomnia, alcohol use disorders, cognitive difficulties, and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0). Using established cutoffs, participants were split into 2 groups for each condition. Tweedie regression analyses were performed with the 6 mental health conditions as exposures and the WHODAS 2.0 score as the outcome. Performance (C-index) and calibration of the indexes were compared with a simple count. Results: A general and a sex-specific mental multimorbidity indexes were developed; both were significantly associated with the disability score. The new indexes had slightly better predictive performance than simple counts of mental disorders. Conclusion: We developed mental multimorbidity indexes as epidemiological research tools. Future prospective studies could investigate their predictive potential regarding outcomes such as medication use, healthcare utilization, and quality of life.
