Incident depression after breast cancer among older Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women.
Article in JNCI cancer spectrum, 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
backgroundLongitudinal studies examining mental health outcomes among older (≥66 years) Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) women diagnosed with breast cancer are limited. We evaluated incident depression after breast cancer among specific groups of older ANHPI compared with older non-Hispanic White (NHW) women. Predictors of depression and the risk of death following early onset of depression after breast cancer were also evaluated.
methodsA cohort of 26 776 older ANHPI women in the United States diagnosed with breast cancer between 2000 and 2017 was identified from the SEER-Medicare linked claims. There were 6694 older ANHPI and 20 082 older NHW women diagnosed with breast cancer. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated with the Cox proportional hazards regression and 99% confidence intervals (CI) to evaluate incident depression and death among older ANHPI compared with age-matched NHW counterparts.
resultsCompared with older NHW women with breast cancer, older Japanese (HR = 0.43, 99% CI = 0.31 to 0.66), Chinese (HR = 0.46, 99% CI = 0.31 to 0.67), Filipino (HR = 0.43, 99% CI = 0.30 to 0.60), and Asian Indian/Pakistani women (HR = 0.49, 99% CI = 0.28 to 0.84) had a lower risk of depression overall and within 5 years of follow-up; lower risk persisted for Japanese and Chinese women >5 years. ANHPI breast cancer patients with early onset of depression had a higher risk of death (HR = 1.46, 99% CI = 1.30 to 1.65) compared to those without depression.
conclusionCompared with older NHW women, older ANHPI women had a lower incidence of depression, although disentangling the stigma surrounding depression by race and ethnicity remains challenging.
