Association Between Depression Severity and Ovarian Cancer Among American Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of women's 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
Objective: Inflammation is one of the main causes of ovarian cancer. Depression leads to an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, which in turn affects the progression and severity of cancer. There is a lack of research on the relationship between depression severity and ovarian cancer. This study aimed to explore the relationship between depression severity and ovarian cancer. Methods: The study used data from seven cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2005-2018). Weighted multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between depression severity and ovarian cancer. Results: A total of 14,843 women without cancer and 56 women only with ovarian cancer were included in this study. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models showed that severe depression was associated with ovarian cancer (unadjusted model, OR: 4.94, 95% CI: 1.14, 21.35, p < 0.05, p for trend: 0.1; partially adjusted model, OR: 6.10, 95% CI: 1.35, 27.51, p < 0.05, p for trend: 0.04; fully adjusted model, OR: 5.82, 95% CI: 1.19, 28.52, p < 0.05, p for trend: 0.05). Conclusion: Severe depression was positively correlated with ovarian cancer. Longitudinal studies are necessary to explore causality.
