[Depression in frail geriatric patients. Diagnostics and treatment].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Frailty is associated with an increased risk of depressive syndromes. This review aims to summarize data on coincidence, clinical presentation, and diagnostic and therapeutic work-up of depression in frail patients. Depressive syndromes in geriatric patients are characterized by increased frequency and intensity of somatic symptoms. There is considerable overlap with symptoms of frailty. Both syndromes indicate an increased risk for subsequent somatic morbidity, worsening depression functional deterioration, admission to a nursing home and mortality. Diagnosis of subthreshold depressive syndromes allows preventive measures to be initiated. Barrier-free access to preventive and therapeutic interventions is essential. Concomitant somatic symptoms in subthreshold depression increase risk of progression to major depression. They must be addressed in an interdisciplinary approach involving geriatric teams and geriatric psychiatry.
