All-Cause Mortality and Bleeding Risks Associated With Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in Patients With End-Stage Kidney Disease and Depression: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectiveThe prevalence of depression is high among patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). To date, there has been limited investigation into the comparative effects of antidepressant in patients with ESKD. This study aims to explore the association between type of antidepressant, incidence of all-cause death, and hospitalization for major bleeding in patients with ESKD and depression.
methodsThis study utilized data obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance Service Database. Patients with ESKD were divided into two groups: those prescribed strong serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) and those prescribed weak or intermediate SRIs.
resultsOver a mean follow-up of 2.46 years, the strong SRI group had a lower risk of all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.81-0.93) and hospitalization for major bleeding (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.79-0.90) with no increased risk of bleeding-related death (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.80-1.37) compared to the weak or intermediate SRI group. The protective effects of strong SRI use for all-cause death and hospitalization for major bleeding remained consistent in those prescribed SSRIs for less than 120 days (death: HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.80-0.92; hospitalization for major bleeding: HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.78-0.90), and in patients aged below 75 years (death: HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.76-0.90; hospitalization for major bleeding: HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.75-0.87).
conclusionIn patients with ESKD and depression, the use of strong SRIs was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause death and major bleeding hospitalization compared to the use of weak or intermediate SRIs.
