Comparing the associations of three psychometric scales at baseline with long-term prognosis of depression over a 10-year period.
Article in International journal of methods in psychiatric research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThe Depression and Somatic Symptoms Scale (DSSS), a free scale, includes depression (DS) and somatic (SS) subscales. This study aimed to compare the associations of the baseline DSSS, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores with the outcome of depression over a 10-year follow-up period.
methodsTwo hundred ninety outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD) were enrolled and were followed-up at the 6-month, 2-year, and 10-year points. The three scales were administered at each follow-up. Multiple linear regressions were used to compare the associations.
resultsIn a comparison of the HAMD, DS, and HADS-depression, the HAMD and DS scores at baseline were most strongly associated with the HAMD score at two (6-month and 2-year) and one (10-year) follow-up points, respectively. In a comparison of the HAMD, DS, SS, HADS-depression, and HADS-anxiety, the SS and HAMD scores at baseline were most strongly associated with the HAMD score at two (6-month and 10-year) and one (2-year) follow-up points, respectively.
conclusionsThe DS, SS, and HAMD scores at baseline were significantly associated with the long-term outcome of depression. Scales or subscales assessing somatic symptoms might be more strongly associated with the outcome of depression.
