Analyzing Non-verbal Behavior Throughout Recovery in a Sample of Depressed Patients Receiving Deep Brain Stimulation.
Article in Neurology, psychiatry, and brain research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTraditional rating scales for depression rely heavily on patient self-report, and lack detailed measurement of non-verbal behavior. However, there is evidence that depression is associated with distinct non-verbal behaviors, assessment of which may provide useful information about recovery. This study examines non-verbal behavior in a sample of patients receiving Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) treatment of depression, with the purpose to investigate the relationship between non-verbal behaviors and reported symptom severity.
methodsVideotaped clinical interviews of twelve patients participating in a study of DBS for treatment-resistant depression were analyzed at three time points (before treatment and after 3 months and 6 months of treatment), using an ethogram to assess the frequencies of 42 non-verbal behaviors. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17) were also collected at all time points.
resultsFactor analysis grouped non-verbal behaviors into three factors: LIMITATIONS: This study assesses a narrow sample of patients with a distinct clinical profile at limited time points.
conclusionsNon-verbal behavior provides information about clinical states and may be reliably quantified using ethograms. Non-verbal behavior may provide distinct information compared to self-report.
