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

backgroundDue to the demographic development depressive disorders in old age are becoming a central and urgent healthcare challenge.

objectivesThe article reviews effective approaches towards treatment of depression in the elderly.

methodsA literature review of complex interventions improving depression care was carried out.

resultsRobust evidence exists for the use of collaborative care models which incorporate collaboration between mental health and medical providers in the primary care setting (e.g. general practitioners and specialists), regular monitoring, case management, and evidence-based treatment. Staged treatment approaches seem to be appropriate by which initially use treatment strategies of low intensity. For patients with limited mobility, home-based approaches have proven to be particularly practical and effective.

conclusionMultidisciplinary and multimodal treatment approaches represent an effective and efficient way of healthcare provision for late life depression. In Germany, only few initiatives inspired by successful international models have so far been identified.
