Associations between socioeconomic factors and mental symptoms highlight whole-body correlates and pathways.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Socioeconomic status (SES) correlates with both mental symptoms and systemic health traits, suggesting systemic health conditions as potential complementary pathways for SES-mental health associations alongside neural mechanisms. Here, we distinguished independent associations of areal and personal SES with 95 whole-body health traits, including anxiety and depression, tested whether these associations differ by age and sex, and assessed the extent to which associations between areal SES and mental health are statistically attributable to personal SES and whole-body health traits in 489,543 participants from the UK Biobank. We identified 144 independent associations of areal and personal SES with whole-body health traits, including 14 with significant age differences and 65 with significant sex differences. The associations between areal SES and mental symptoms were primarily mediated by personal SES and whole-body health traits. The pathways from areal SES to depression and anxiety symptoms may inform multiple-level interventions for mental health improvement.
