Psychiatric Comorbidity, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Mental Health Service Utilization Among Patients Awaiting Liver Transplant.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
contextThe prevalence of psychiatric disorders and mental health service utilization among patients with end-stage liver disease awaiting transplant remains understudied.
objectivesThis study assessed the prevalence of psychological disorders and symptoms with the use of a structured diagnostic interview and self-report measures, and examined patient-reported mental health service utilization and barriers to care.
methodsWaitlisted liver transplant candidates (N = 120) completed assessments during routine clinic appointments at a single time point.
resultsParticipants endorsed moderate-to-severe levels of depression (19.2%), anxiety (26.7%), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (23.3%). Forty-three percent had received some form of mental health treatment in the recent past, and a range of barriers to accessing mental health services were endorsed. In a subset of 39 participants who received a structure diagnostic assessment, there was a high prevalence of current (51.3%) and past (82.1%) psychiatric disorders. Elevated scores on depression, anxiety, and PTSD measures were associated with significant decrements in health-related quality of life, but were not differentially associated with mental health service utilization.
conclusionThere are a significant number of end-stage liver disease patients who could benefit from intervention who are not currently connected to treatment. Many patients do not see the need for accessing services, perhaps because of a lack of insight or knowledge about the benefits of mental health treatment. Future research should determine optimal treatment and service delivery methods for this vulnerable population.
