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

objectiveInterpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) model, with its four problematic areas of grief, deficit, role transition and role dispute, provides a useful frame of reference for a quick case formulation. We aimed at applying the IPT problematic areas assessment in a sample of patients from a liaison psychiatry setting.

methodsOne-hundred and twenty-nine hospitalized patients of both sexes, aged between 18 and 80 years were interviewed. The 'Interpersonal Problem Areas Rating Scale' (IPARS) was used to detect the interpersonal focuses.

resultsIPARS problematic areas were identified in the 76% of the sample (n=98). Grief and role transition, interpersonal deficits and role disputes were, respectively, the most frequently (43.4 and 42.6%, respectively) and the less frequently described focuses (14 and 11.6%). Moreover, 31 patients (24%) showed no problem areas related to current symptomatology.

conclusionsThe IPT model has proved to be an easy-to-use tool, able to guide the psychological interview and allowing the collection of information from an interpersonal perspective in a short time, although no specific focuses were detected as related to current psychological distress in around 25% of the sample.
