The Rate of Depression Screening at a Federally Qualified Community Health Center.
Article in Health services research and managerial epidemiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the rate of depression screening among patients, aged 19 and older, seen at a community health center, while referencing to US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) screening recommendations.
methodsA random sample of 500 patients, aged 19 and older, were extracted from the total number of patients seen at the community health center, between December 1, 2013, and April 30, 2014. The rate of depression screening was calculated by analyzing the completed standardized screening questionnaires (Patient Health Questionnaire 2).
resultsOn analysis, it was found that 14.6% of patients were screened for depression. The rate of screening for males was 8.4% and for females it was 17.5%. The race with the highest rate of screening was Asian at 23.2%, and the lowest rate was white at 12.8%.
conclusionThe studied community health center had a suboptimal rate of depression screening at 14.6%. The USPSTF recommends depression screening on all adults. Addressing barriers to screening including patient education, provider education, system practices, and provision of resources may help improve the rate of depression screening, leading to early treatment and better health outcomes.
