Economic factors in of patients' nonadherence to antidepressant treatment.
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 16 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
purposePatients' nonadherence to antidepressant treatment hampers cost and efficacy of depression-specific treatment. However, previous studies have failed to find consistent findings in economic effect on nonadherence and also failed to reach consensus in how to measure nonadherence to treatment. The study attempts to investigate income effect on nonadherence to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) treatment with clear definitions of nonadherence: self discontinuation of SSRIs (nonpersistence) and under-dose of SSRIs (noncompliance).
methodsThe study extracted data from the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication (NCS-R). The study sample (n = 280) includes adults between the ages of 18 and 64 who were diagnosed with Diagnostic Statistics Manual IV Major Depressive Episode (MDE) at some point during their lifetime and medicated with SSRIs in the past 12 months.
resultsJust above poverty level of family income and no health insurance increased the risk of medication nonpersistence in SSRIs treatment. The study findings confirmed that African Americans were at higher risk of medication noncompliance than Whites (odds ratio, 4.53) and MDE comorbidity was positively associated with medication noncompliance (odds ratio, 4.25).
conclusionsLow income level, combined with health insurance status, and race/ethnicity, predict nonadherence to antidepressant treatment. The study findings would help physicians and hospitals developing interventional strategies and programs to increase patients' adherence rates in antidepressant treatment.
