Article in Current psychiatry reports, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In this paper, we present a systematic review of the literature on current issues in the economics of depression management, focusing on studies within three distinct areas of interest: 1) the clinical and economic outcomes of alternative patterns of antidepressant use; 2) the impact of depression and antidepressant therapy on the costs of general medical-care services; and 3) the effects of depression and associated benefits of antidepressant therapy on worker productivity. Our review suggests that 1) patterns of antidepressant use are important predictors of symptom improvement, relapse/recurrence, and costs of care, and that use patterns vary according to the antidepressant received as initial therapy; 2) patients with depression have higher costs of general medical-care services compared with their nondepressed peers, and that treatment of depression may reduce these costs; and 3) depression can result in productivity losses via increased rates of absenteeism and short-term disability as well as via impaired on-the-job performance.
