Differential effects of IL-5 levels on depression severity between controls, and patients with breast cancer receiving and not receiving chemotherapy. We used the linear regression analysis to visualize the effects of cytokines on depression severity after adjustment for sociodemographics between the groups. Although IL-5 level and depression severity was not significantly associated in different groups, based on the moderation analysis, the differential association between IL-5 levels and depression severity between breast cancer groups receiving (regression coefficient = 0.66) and not receiving chemotherapy (regression coefficient = − 0.97) was 1.59 of regression coefficient
