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

This study aimed to identify latent patterns of treatment combinations in inpatient depression care. A secondary analysis of routinely collected data on inpatient depression treatment from 2133 patients was conducted. Exploratory latent class modeling was used to identify distinct classes of treatment combinations based on antidepressant medication, psychotherapeutic interventions, and additional treatments. The classes were compared with regard to patient characteristics and treatment outcomes. Eight different classes of inpatient treatment combinations could be identified: 22.8% of the patients were treated with a combination labelled "standard modern antidepressants", 14.6% with "standard tricyclic antidepressants", 12.2% with "high intensity innovative strategies", 12.1% with "standard selective-reuptake-inhibitors", and 11.6% with "low intensity", 9.6% with "somatic", 8.8% with "high intensity traditional", and 8.3% with "high intensity psychosocial" care, respectively. Patients treated with different patterns of interventions differed statistically significantly regarding demographic and clinical characteristics. Responder rates ranged from 68.4% to 86.6% across treatment classes. The presented attempt of empirical modeling of a complex multifactorial intervention by means of latent class analysis proved to be a promising way of capturing the complexity of routine inpatient depression treatment. The identified classes of treatment combinations may provide relevant information for a re-evaluation and improvement of inpatient depression treatment strategies.
