[Depression, epidemiological factors, and quality of life in older adults].
Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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
Background: Depression in older adults is a public health problem that affects functional capacity, reduces quality of life, and it is associated with epidemiological factors such as age, sex, marital status, educational level, the presence of chronic diseases, and level of physical activity. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between depression, quality of life, and epidemiological factors in older adults. Material and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 127 older adults. Depression was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and quality of life was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life). Descriptive analyses, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to determine associations, with significance set at p < 0.05. The study was approved by CLIS 301 and CEI 3018 under protocol number R-2025-301-003. Results: The median age of participants was 69 years, with a predominance of women (57.5%). Depression was significantly associated with lower quality of life (p = 0.001) and lower physical activity levels measured by IPAQ (p = 0.008). Conclusions: These findings reinforce depression as a sensitive indicator of quality of life in older adults and highlight the need to strengthen early detection and promote physical activity as one of the epidemiological factors associated with psychosocial well-being in this population.
