> The association between meatless diet and presence of depressive episodes was expressed as a prevalence ratio (PR), determined by Poisson regression adjusted for... PRs ranging from 2.05 (95%CI 1.00–4.18) in the crude model to 2.37 (95%CI 1.24–4.51) in the fully adjusted model.

science direct needs some ELI5 graph tool where you could plug in these arcane results. e.g. for this particular study they use the Poisson distribution https://www.reddit.com/r/askmath/comments/1mqdwb/eli5_the_po... , a bit to unpack there for the uninitiated in statistics.

Agreed. Also, the crude CI is almost crossing 1 and the width (and PR) seems to increase when controlling for other things. This may suggest that those other things may be of more significant interest than the main effect the authors are modeling.
