Depressive symptoms and work in Indigenous people.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 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
backgroundAdverse social and environmental factors outside of the health system play an important role in disparate mental health (MH) outcomes, including access to quality employment. American Indian/Alaskan Native (AIAN) workers are at risk but have been left out of research.
aimTo describe the characteristics of AIAN adults with depressive symptoms and to examine their sociodemographic, health, functional and disability characteristics by work status.
methodsUtilizing the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data for years 2020 and 2022, we evaluated differences in MH symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment between working and non-working AIAN adults. We undertook a descriptive analysis of socio-demographic and health characteristics. Three sets of multivariable logistic regression models were undertaken to (1) evaluate the association between employment status and MH outcomes, (2) associations with MH outcomes in working AIAN adults, (3) associations with mental health outcomes in non-working AIAN adults.
resultsAIAN adults not currently employed had higher odds (1.55, 95%CI:1.03-2.33) of reporting weekly/daily depressive symptoms and ever being diagnosed with depression (1.50, 95%CI:1.02-2.21) compared to employed AIAN adults. Predictors of MH health outcomes differed between working and non-working AIAN adults, including age, education level, location, health care usage and delay of MH treatment.
conclusionsThere is evidence of the impact of work on the MH of indigenous people. An occupational health agenda should include better survey tools, and engagement with AIAN communities, workers, employers and health services to build on the evidence and support local level strategies.
