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
backgroundRapid population ageing in Indonesia has heightened the importance of understanding late-life depressive symptoms. However, recent nationally representative evidence remains limited, warranting updated estimates of prevalence and associated factors to inform public health policy and practice. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and identify associated factors among persons aged 45 years and older in Indonesia, overall and stratified by sex.
methodsThis study analysed data from 3808 adults aged 45 years and older who participated in the 2023 Indonesia Longitudinal Ageing Survey (ILAS), a national cross-sectional survey. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10). A total CES-D-10 score of ≥ 10 indicated depressive symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression examined factors associated with depressive symptoms.
resultsThe overall prevalence of depressive symptoms was 9.3%, 9.0% in men and 9.6% in women. In the final adjusted models, overall, having been hospitalised in the past 12 months, poor self-rated health status, multisite pain, overweight, and having a disability were positively associated with depressive symptoms. Religious activity was in unadjusted analysis negatively associated with depressive symptoms. In addition, among men, current smoking increased the odds of depressive symptoms.
conclusionDepressive symptoms affected about one in ten persons 45 years and older in Indonesia in 2023 and were associated with poorer physical health, including hospitalisation, disability, multisite pain, poor self-rated health, and overweight. Among men, current smoking was an additional risk factor.
