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

People with persistent physical symptoms are at risk of psychological symptoms, although recognition in medical settings is low. This is a retrospective observational study of 954 patients in a hospital outpatient neuro-otology clinic in order to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an electronic informatics system for collection of patient-reported outcomes, with real-time feedback to guide clinical care and describe the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.The proportion of patients successfully completing the screen was high (70%). The decline rate was low (5%). The most common reason to decline was lack of confidence with technology. The prevalence of probable depression was 21% and for probable anxiety was 29%. Suicidal ideation was present in 5%. Anxiety and depression were highly correlated to dizziness specific outcome measures (p<0.01).Electronic screening is feasible and acceptable to patients and staff in this setting, helping to identify service needs, inform care and monitor outcomes.
