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

backgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate functional impairment and its relationship to illness severity in a sample of patients with a diagnosis of mood or anxiety disorder during inpatient treatment and 1 year after discharge.

methodsTwo hundred thirty-nine inpatients with primary diagnoses of mood or anxiety disorders were assessed at baseline and at follow-up by a range of validated instruments. Mini-ICF-APP was used for the assessment of functional impairment, BDI-II for the assessment of clinical symptoms and remission. Sample characteristics and measures of impairment at baseline and at follow-up were analysed descriptively. Symptomatically remitted and non-remitted patients were compared with regard to capacity limitations.

resultsInitially, the sample showed considerable impairment in many capacities, particularly endurance, spontaneous activities, structuring of tasks, competency and flexibility. After 1 year, all capacities significantly improved. The level of impairment was correlated with employment status and severity of clinical symptoms. About 50% of the patients remitted in clinical symptomatology. Retrospectively, the remitted and the unremitted did not differ in functional impairment at baseline but there were considerable differences at follow-up.

conclusionsMini-ICF-APP is a useful instrument to monitor functional status and change in psychiatric samples, complementing the usual focus on symptom reduction.
