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

The Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial found that after initial treatment, depressed patients treated in primary care settings had the same or slightly better outcomes than those treated in specialty care settings. The authors describe challenges to using the STAR*D approach and protocols in usual primary care settings. These include inadequate availability of appointments, insufficient resources for care management and treatment monitoring, and lack of payment to primary care providers for providing mental health care. Substantial reengineering of payment and delivery systems is needed in order for the STAR*D approach to be viable in primary care clinics.
