Cross-national prevalence of mental disorders in older adults exposed to COVID-19 information.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 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
to verify the association between exposure to COVID-19 news and information through social networks, television and radio, as well as to screen for geriatric anxiety and depression comparing Peru, Brazil and Mexico. a cross-sectional design, web-based survey with non-probability sampling and validated scales to screen for geriatric anxiety and depression, as well as data analysis by hierarchical binary logistic regression. there was prevalence of female gender (n=4,937; 61.9%), non-white race/skin color (n=4,724; 59.2%) and age group of 60 to 64 years old (n=2,584; 32.4%) among the 7,976 participants. COVID-19 news and information were accessed through television (n=6,187;77.6%), a few or some times a week (n=4,322, 54.2%) and for at least three hours (n=2,596; 32.5%). In the final models and both for anxiety and for depression, the significant differences (p-value<0.001) for the "use", "exposure frequency" and "exposure hours" aspects changed depending on the media. The prevalence of the outcomes in the three countries was low. frequent exposure to media was associated with higher prevalence of geriatric anxiety and depression, although the difference across the countries under study was small.
background(1) The variables associated with the outcomes indicate consumption of news and information.
background(2) Media exposure frequency and time matter for screening.
background(3) The prevalence of the outcomes when comparing all three countries was small.
background(4) Screening was 42.6% for anxiety and 59.4% for depression.
background(5) Media consumption was 77.6% television, 46.6% social media and 42.7% radio.
