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

Comments on the article by J. C. Fortney et al. (see record 2018-24946-001) describing their relatively unsuccessful efforts to implement improved care for patients with complex mood disorders in safety net clinics. It is unusual for scientists to submit papers describing their unsuccessful studies and even more unusual for journals to publish them. More importantly, Fortney and this journal have provided us with an unusually detailed and thoughtful description of many of the factors that may have contributed to this result. Few studies actually provide this close a look at what was done to implement the desired changes. (PsycINFO Database Record
