RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL OF AN INTERNET-BASED INTERVENTION TO PREVENT ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION IN A PRIMARY CARE SETTING (CATCH-IT): 2.5-YEAR OUTCOMES.
Article in Journal of evidence-based psychotherapies, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
We developed and tested two primary care based approaches for the early identification and prevention of depressive disorders in adolescents. We conducted a randomized controlled trial originally intended to compare Brief Advice (BA) + Internet intervention with Motivational Interviewing (MI) + Internet intervention in primary care for adolescents experiencing persistent subthreshold depression (Project CATCH-IT). This is an exploratory long-term 2.5 year follow-up study of a phase II study comparing pre/post outcomes and potential moderators of outcomes. Participants (n=44) in the entire cohort maintained from baseline and continued to reduce depressive symptoms and percentage of subsyndromal depression. Greater motivation for depression prevention and lower ratings of self-efficacy at baseline were associated with greater declines in depression symptoms. These results suggest adolescents can be followed-up after Internet studies and there may be evidence of sustained reductions in depressed mood. The CATCH-IT model offers the possibility of a long term effect, but these results are limited by the small sample size and pre-post design. A large scale randomized clinical trial of the intervention is currently in progress.
