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

objectiveThe main objective of this study was to evidence the potential impact of the intensity, duration and recurrence of depression on the development of arterial stiffness (AS) leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction (DD) in patients with new onset depression (NOD) and recurrent depression (RD) in comparison to 33 control subjects without depression. Another aim was to identify potential predictive factors regarding the occurrence of diastolic dysfunction (DD).

methodsOur study group included 58 patients diagnosed with NOD and 128 diagnosed with RD, without any previously diagnosed significant heart diseases. The intensity of depression was evaluated by means of the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Assessment of pulse wave velocity (PWV), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and echocardiographic parameters characterizing DD were performed for each patient.

resultsThe cardiology evaluations suggested an increased prevalence of AS in all patients, of significantly higher rate than in controls (p<0.001), which was statistically correlated with the severity and duration of depression. Another significant finding was an increased prevalence of DD (29.31% and 63.28%, respectively; p<0.001) correlated with the MADRS score, total duration and number of recurrences/relapses. The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified PWV, the intensity and duration of depression as significant predictive factors for the occurrence of DD.

conclusionsIn our study, diastolic dysfunction was a common finding among patients with RD, but it was also noted, to a lesser extent, in those suffering with NOD. DD was associated with altered AS, and strongly correlated with the intensity and the duration of depressive symptoms. The two latter factors, together with an increased PWV, were strong predictors for the occurrence of DD.
