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

aimsLittle is known about the effects of both financial hardship and people's perception of it on mental health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of perceived financial hardship on individuals' depressive symptoms across several strata of objective financial situations.

methodsWe used data from a four-wave French national population-based cohort (

resultsWe showed a link between perceived financial hardship and the onset and deterioration of depressive symptoms in subsequent waves, with effect sizes ranging from HR = 1.29 (0.87-1.90) to 2.23 (1.66-2.98). This association was stronger in the high-income population. There was no significant link between perceived financial hardship and the improvement of depressive symptomatology.

conclusionsThis study confirms that perceived financial hardship is linked to the onset and deterioration of depressive symptoms. Furthermore, it suggests a stronger effect in high-income households, which could mean that the experience of financial hardship and the objective financial situation interact in their effect on mental health.
