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
objectiveThe current study investigates the attitude towards antidepressant treatment among general public.
methodsA total of 234 probands (139 women and 95 men) were asked to complete individually provided questionnaires examining socio-demographic data, psychoeducational levels, as well as personal beliefs concerning antidepressant treatment and levels of present stigmatisation. Three scales were used to quantify stigmatisation levels-"Revised Perceived Devaluation Discrimination Scale"/"Revised Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale"/"Attitudes Toward Mental Health Treatment Scale", "Revised Perceived Devaluation Discrimination Scale".
results65 people (27.8 %) reported to have had one or more episodes of depression during their lifetime; 169 people (72.2 %) indicated to have never had any episode of that type before. The words "sickness" and "anxiety" were the terms primarily associated with the word "depression". It was a common belief among interviewees that lonely individuals or those not receiving social support have a higher risk of becoming depressed. We further found that people experience higher levels of internalized stigma when talking about their antidepressant drug-therapy, than the level of perceived stigma would suggest. Opposed to those not indicating depression depressed people indicated that they considered the use of antidepressant medication helpful and a good option, if necessary. Stigma can still be found among those not indicating depression as well as among those with symptoms of depression. Based on the current study we conclude that work in the field of destigmatisation is of great importance.
