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

objectiveTo study whether patients who consult because of feeling sick present more often with anxiety and depression disorders than the other patients using a rural emergency primary care service.

designTransversal descriptive study with paired control group. A questionnaire with clinical and social-demographic questions and the Goldberg Anxiety-Depression Scale (GADS) were administered, with uni- and bi-variate statistical analysis (P< .05).

settingIntensive Care and Emergency Unit, Baena, Córdoba, Spain.

participantsSample of 166 patients aged between 15 and 65; 83 in the study group (SG = feeling sick) and 83 in the control group (CG = not feeling sick). MAIN

resultsThe SG was positive on the GADS in 80.7% of cases, against the CG with 54.2% (P< .0001). Anxiety sub-scale: 61.4% positive in SG and 42.2% in CG (P=.013). Depression sub-scale: 73.5% positive in SG and 47% in CG (P< .0001); 89.1% of women gave positive in the SG, against 64.3% of men (P=.007). Patients feeling sick who had consulted in the previous month (P=.039) and with a psychiatric history (P=.017) also showed a higher percentage of psychiatric disorders than those who did not feel sick.

conclusionsPatients feeling sick as their main symptom have higher prevalence of anxiety and depression than other patients at a rural PC emergency service. Being a woman, having a psychiatric history and having consulted in the previous month are related with these disorders.
