Higher prevalence of mental disorders in socioeconomically deprived urban areas in The Netherlands: community or personal disadvantage?
Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveMajor mental disorders occur more frequently in deprived urban areas. This study examines whether this occurs for all mental disorders, including less serious ones. It further assesses whether such a concentration can be explained by the socioeconomic status (SES) of the residents concerned or that a cumulation of problems in deprived areas reinforces their occurrence.
designMental disorders were assessed by means of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) among 4892 residents. Additional data were obtained on area deprivation, and on individual SES. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to take the hierarchical structure of the data into account, residents being nested in boroughs.
settingGeneral population of the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
main outcome measurePrevalence of an increased (> or = 2) score on the GHQ, 12 item version.
resultsMental disorders occur more frequently in deprived areas but this can be explained by the lower SES of the residents concerned.
conclusionsThe cumulation of mental disorders in deprived urban areas is mainly a result of a concentration of low SES people in these areas. Contextual factors of deprived urban areas give hardly any additional risk above that resulting from a low individual SES.
