The short-term outcome of depressive disorder in adolescents attending primary care: a cohort study.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundDepressive disorder is common amongst adolescents attending primary care, but little is known about its time course.
aimTo determine the 6-month outcome of depressive disorder in adolescent primary care attendees with regard to the time to recovery from (1) the date of index GP consultation and (2) the date of depressive episode onset, and to identify risk factors associated with time to recovery.
methodA prospective cohort study of 13-18-year-olds attending a general practice in northwest London. Attendees were screened for depressive disorder at consultation: high scorers underwent a psychiatric research interview. Six months later, adolescents who were depressed at consultation were interviewed using a research psychiatric follow-up interview.
resultsOf the 274 young people who completed the baseline questionnaires, 26 had a depressive disorder at consultation; over 50% failed to recover by the 6-month follow-up. Median episode duration from illness onset was 13 months. Multivariate cox regression showed that fewer positive life events and more physical symptoms predicted a longer time to recovery from consultation. Younger age, fewer recent positive life events and more depressive symptoms predicted a longer time to recovery from illness onset.
conclusionsAdolescent depressive disorders in general practice attendees are persistent, highlighting the appropriateness of intervention.
