Occupational and psychosocial risk factors for depression among uninsured middle-aged food delivery riders.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
objectiveTo assess the prevalence of depression among uninsured middle-aged food delivery riders, to identify occupational and psychosocial determinants, and to develop a predictive nomogram for early risk detection.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1,333 uninsured riders aged 40-59 years in China between January 2022 and December 2024. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the CESD-10 scale. Data on sociodemographic, behavioral, health, and occupational characteristics were collected. Predictors were identified through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and entered into a multivariable logistic regression to construct a predictive model. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plots, Brier scores, and decision curve analysis.
resultsIn total, 516 riders (38.7%) met the criteria for depression. Riders with depression were more often female and rural residents and reported poor self-rated health. Key occupational risk factors included frequent near-miss traffic events, higher algorithmic pressure, adverse weather exposure, and a greater number of customer complaints. Protective factors include male sex, better self-rated health, and greater organizational justice. The predictive nomogram demonstrated strong discrimination (AUC 0.828 in the training cohort and 0.853 in the test cohort) and satisfactory calibration.
conclusionThis study developed and validated one of the first nomograms to predict depression in uninsured middle-aged food delivery riders. The model underscores the critical role of occupational stressors and psychosocial resources and provides a practical tool for risk identification.
