Who receives depression-specific treatment? A secondary data-based analysis of outpatient care received by over 780,000 statutory health-insured individuals diagnosed with depression.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThis study examined the effects of individual and regional characteristics on receiving depression-specific treatment in the statutory health-insured population of Bavaria (83% of the population).
methodsData of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Bavaria were analysed for prevalence, diagnosis of and treatment for depression in outpatient care by considering individual and regional characteristics.
resultsPrevalence of diagnosed depression was 9.2% for the statutory health-insured population aged 18-100 years. More than half of all individuals diagnosed with depression (F32.x/F33.x) and more than one-third of persons diagnosed with severe depression (F32.2/.3 and F33.2/.3) did not receive depression-specific treatment. Rates of a depression-specific treatment were higher for females, the middle aged, individuals with more severe depression diagnoses, those with psychiatric comorbidity and those without physical comorbidity and for individuals living in more rural areas.
conclusionsThe pathways to depression-specific treatment for persons diagnosed with moderate and severe depression need to be improved. Training for physicians, stepped care approaches, psycho-education for patients and anti-stigma campaigns are possible measures to reach this goal. The knowledge on individual characteristics that influence receiving a depression-specific treatment is important to target the groups at increased risk for under-treatment.
