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

We sought to develop a quality standard for the prescription of antidepressants for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that is both consistent with the underlying evidence supporting antidepressants as a treatment for PTSD and associated with the best levels of symptom improvement. We quantified antidepressant initiation during the first year of PTSD treatment in a 10-year national cohort of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) users, and compared outcomes in a subgroup who completed patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) as part of routine practice. We added progressively stringent measurement requirements. Prescribing quality for PTSD in the VA was stable over time. Use of PROM was rare in the case of antidepressant treatment, limiting our assessment of outcomes.
