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

introductionPrior studies suggested that a greater number of return visits is associated with greater symptoms of depression and greater symptom intensity.

methodsAll new adult patients presenting for musculsoskeletal specialty care between October 2017 and October 2018 were included. Patients completed the PROMIS Global Health, the PHQ-2, and the GAD-7 as part of usual care.

resultsAccounting for confounders, having a return visit was associated with lower PROMIS Global Health, greater symptoms of depression, and greater symptoms of anxiety.

conclusionsThese findings provide support for the importance of 1) improved coordination with non-specialist referring clinicians, and 2) interdisciplinary care teams. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, Prognostic.
