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

introductionCOVID-19 severely disrupted labor markets and living conditions, intensifying job precariousness and material deprivation. We examined whether pre-pandemic mental health conditions predicted socio-economic adversity during the first pandemic year and whether resilience buffered changes in mental health.

methodsWe analyzed a nationally representative longitudinal cohort of Spanish adults assessed in two assessments: November 2019 (T0, pre-pandemic) and November-December 2020 (T1). Major depressive episode (MDE), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) were assessed at T0; job precariousness and material deprivation were measured at T1. Weighted multivariable regression models tested (i) associations between T0 mental health and T1 socio-economic adversity and (ii) associations between T1 adversity and changes in mental health symptoms, including resilience interactions.

resultsPre-pandemic GAD and STB were associated with higher odds of job precariousness during the pandemic, whereas MDE was not significant after adjustment. Job precariousness was associated with small reductions in depressive, anxiety, and STB symptoms, while material deprivation was associated with increased depressive symptoms; higher resilience attenuated the deprivation-depression association.

conclusionsPre-existing anxiety and suicide-related symptoms may identify individuals more likely to report job precariousness during socio-economic shocks. Preventing material deprivation and strengthening resilience may help reduce downstream depressive burden during crises.
