Chronic Lung Diseases and Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults: Insights from Observational Studies and Mendelian Randomization.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: To elucidate the currently unknown relationship between chronic lung diseases (CLDs) and depressive symptoms among older adults. Methods: A total of 8079 older adults from China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) and 1119 individuals from a Sichuan Province cohort were included in this study. We used regression analysis and propensity score matching (PSM) to assess the association between CLDs and depressive symptoms among older adults, while the causal relationship was assessed using Mendelian randomization (MR). Our sensitivity analyses included heterogeneity tests, tests of multiple validity, and leave-one-out tests. A two-way mediation analysis was also used to assess the mediating role of basic activities of daily living (BADL) between CLDs and depressive symptoms. Results: In this cross-sectional study, we found that depressive symptoms significantly ( Conclusion: Depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk of CLDs, reduced BADL promote the risk of CLDs in older adults with depressive symptoms, but the underlying pathological mechanism still needs to be clarified in future research.
