1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRole impairment due to health problems is a public health issue. China Mental Health Survey (CMHS) is a national epidemiological study in China, providing plenty of information on mental disorders and physical diseases.This study focused on the association between mental disorders and physical diseases with role impairment.

methodsThis study was based on CMHS, a cross-sectional study in a large-scale nationally representative sample across China from 2012 to 2015. Trained interviewers carried out face-to-face interviews with 28,140 respondents using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview-3.0 (CIDI-3.0). The prevalence of mental disorders and physical diseases was assessed. In addition, each respondent reported information about the number of days in the past month being totally and partially unable to work or carry out their other normal daily activities because of problems with either mental disorders or physical diseases. Associations of role impairment with physical diseases and mental disorders were analyzed by multiple regression.

resultsOverall, the weighted rate of role impairment was 3.68% in patients with any mental disorders and 8.75% in those with any physical diseases. Chronic pain ( β = 0.07, P <0.001) became the main physical disease associated with role impairment, while depressive disorder ( β = 0.12, P <0.001) became the main mental disorder associated with role impairment. Patients with more mental disorders or physical diseases experienced more days with role impairment.

conclusionsCommon mental disorders and physical diseases account for a large proportion of the number of days out of role. It should be addressed to substantially increase the level of mental health in China.
