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

backgroundThe aim was to investigate longitudinal changes in depression screening results by sex up to one year following cardiac surgery.

methodsWe introduced a depression screening project using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) including patients between 2013-2016. Patients received the PHQ-9 prior to surgery, and at follow-up one year after surgery. We analyzed changes in PHQ-9 scores and screening status from baseline to 1-year follow-up.

resultsScreening results were obtained in 1,133 patients prior to surgery, and after one year, 1,084 patients were alive and of those 897 (83%) patients completed the follow-up PHQ-9 questionnaire. A positive depression screen at baseline was twice as common in women compared to men. A total of 547 (92%) men and 173 (91%) women who were screening negative at baseline were still screening negative at 1-year follow-up. There was no difference between men and women. A lower proportion of men compared with women (44%

conclusionsWe found that twice as many women as men had a positive depression screen at baseline, and that almost 10% of all who were screening negative at baseline, were screening positive after one year. An improvement in depressive symptoms (transition from a screening positive state to a negative screening state) was more common among women than men after one year of follow up.
