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

objectiveWe developed a personalized intervention for depressed patients with COPD (PID-C) aimed to mobilize patients to participate in the care of both conditions. We showed that PID-C reduced depressive symptoms and dyspnea-related disability more than usual care over 28 weeks. This study focused on untangling key therapeutic ingredients of PID-C.

designRandomized controlled trial.

settingCommunity.

participants138 patients who received the diagnoses of COPD and major depression after screening 898 consecutive admissions for acute inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation.

interventionNine sessions of PID-C compared with usual care over 28 weeks. MEASUREMENTS: Primary outcome measures were the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire-Modified. Other measures were adherence to rehabilitation exercise (≥2 hours per week) and adherence to adequate antidepressant prescriptions.

resultsLow severity of dyspnea-related disability and adherence to antidepressants predicted subsequent improvement of depression. Exercise and low depression severity predicted improvement of dyspnea-related disability.

conclusionsPID-C led to an interacting spiral of improvement in both depression and disability in a gravely medically ill population with a 17% mortality rate over 28 weeks and an expected deterioration in disability. The interrelationship of the course of depression and dyspnea-related disability underscores the need to target adherence to both antidepressants and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rehabilitation. PID-C may serve as a care management model for depressed persons suffering from medical illnesses with a deteriorating course.
