Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2020. 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
The evaluation of quality of life could be a useful indicator of depression in HIV patients. We compared the performance of three health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments for detecting depression. This nested case-control study included 200 HIV patients attended at an AIDS referral center. Depression was measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). We accessed HRQoL by SF-36v2, HAT-QoL, and WHOQOL-HIV Bref. The depression diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. SF-36v2 presented negative correlation with BDI score (- 0.72 to - 0.40), and HAT-QoL (- 0.66 to 0.05) and WHOQoL-HIV Bref (- 0.67 to 0.32) domains presented negative and positive correlations. Mental Health (r = - .71) and Mental Component Summary (r = - .72) showed high negative correlation with BDI. SF-36v2 showed excellent measure by the ROC curve analysis in four factors, and high correlation in Mental Health and MCS. Sf-36 may represent a useful tool for screening of depressive symptoms in HIV patients.
