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

purpose of reviewThis review updates the literature on depression in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Treatment for AMD has been revolutionized since the 2004 review of depression and AMD. New data describing the prevalence of depression in AMD, as well as novel interventions for managing depression in AMD, are discussed. RECENT

findingsDepression continues to be prevalent in AMD and new information is available on the pathways by which impaired vision leads to depression. Strategies for the treatment of depression in patients with impaired vision have evolved. SUMMARY: AMD is still a major risk factor for depression and people with activity restriction due to vision loss are at greatest risk. An integrated approach to depression management in older adults with impaired vision may be the best course of action.
