Association between depression and all-cause, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular mortality in the Spanish population: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundDepression is among the most prevalent mental disorders worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of mortality from all causes and from specific causes (cardiovascular disease or suicide). The aim of this study was to analyze whether depression is a risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in a representative sample of the Spanish population, considering also the competing risk of depression in both CVD mortality and other causes that are not CVD mortality.
methodsWe used the data of 4,753 individuals from the Edad con Salud study, recruited between 2011 and 2012, and followed up on three occasions. We included sociodemographic, healthy lifestyle, and chronic conditions variables. The association between depression and all-cause mortality was assessed using hazard ratios obtained from Cox regression, and the association between depression with CVD and non-CVD mortality was assessed using sub-hazard ratios from Fine-Gray models for competing risks.
resultsA total of 18% of the sample had depression. Of the 279 participants who died during the study and had their causes of death recorded, 57 died from CVD. After adjustment for the main potential confounders, depression was significantly associated with all-cause (HR = 1.81; 95% CI = 1.23-2.65) and CVD mortality (sHR = 2.01; 95% CI = 1.08-3.72), but was not significantly associated with non-CVD mortality (sHR = 1.32; 95% CI = 0.88-1.99).
conclusionsDepression was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality, but was not significantly associated with non-CVD mortality. This may be due to the heterogeneity of the causes of death of the participants comprising this subgroup. One significant limitation is the small number of cases involving CVD mortality and depression (n = 13). One potential implication of this study is the need to adopt a comprehensive approach to treating depression to address not only mental health, but also actively promote healthy behaviors that reduce the risk of chronic disease and mortality.
