Associations Between Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Among Hispanic and Latino Participants of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 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
backgroundLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), a major independent cardiovascular risk factor, is the leading cause of death among US groups, including Hispanic and Latino adults. LVH commonly occurs in the setting of hypertension, which may be influenced by psychological factors such as depression and anxiety.
methodsHCHS/SOL (Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos) participants, an ongoing population-based cohort study of Hispanic and Latino adults, completed visit 1 in 2008 through 2011 and visit 2 in 2014 through 2017. Depression and trait anxiety symptoms were self-reported and LVH assessed by echocardiography at visit 2. Among 6612 participants, multivariable Poisson regression examined associations of visit 1 depression symptoms and trait anxiety with incident visit 2 LVH, adjusting for confounders, survey design, and study weights.
resultsAfter an average follow-up of 6.0 years, the age-standardized cumulative incidence of LVH was 5.4% (95% CI, 4.9%-6.1%). Incidence was higher with versus without elevated depression symptoms (10.4% versus 5.1%) and in the highest versus lowest trait anxiety tertile (9.6% versus 5.2%). In multivariable Poisson models, each SD increment in symptoms of depression was associated with a 10% greater incidence (incidence rate ratio,1.10 [95% CI, 1.00-1.20) of LVH at visit 2. However, symptoms of trait anxiety at visit 1 were not independently associated with LVH at visit 2.
conclusionsGreater depressive but not trait anxiety symptomatology was associated with LVH over 6 years. In fully adjusted models, a 1-unit increase in depression symptomatology was associated with a 10% greater likelihood of LVH. Further studies are needed to examine the pathogenetic role of negative affective psychological regulation.
