Mental Health Care Use and Associated Factors in Systemic Sclerosis: A Scleroderma Patient-Centered Intervention Network Cohort Study.
Article in ACR open rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveSystemic sclerosis (SSc) has significant psychosocial implications. We aimed to evaluate the proportion of participants in a large international SSc cohort who used mental health services in a 3-month period and to evaluate demographic, psychological, and disease-specific factors associated with use.
methodsBaseline data of participants enrolled in the Scleroderma Patient-Centered Intervention Network Cohort were analyzed. We determined the proportion that used mental health services and the source of services in the 3 months prior to enrollment. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with service use.
resultsOf the 2319 participants included in the analysis, 417 (18%) used mental health services in the 3 months prior to enrollment. General practitioners were the most common mental health service providers (59%), followed by psychologists (25%) and psychiatrists (19%). In multivariable analysis, mental health service use was independently associated with higher education (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.11), smoking (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.11), being retired (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.38-0.93), having limited SSc (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.02-1.89), and having higher anxiety symptom scores (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.03-1.06) and lower self-efficacy scores (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83-0.97). Variables not significantly associated included age, race, disease manifestations, depression symptom scores, and body image distress.
conclusionAbout 18% of participants in a large international cohort received mental health services in a 3-month period, of whom the majority received these services from a general practitioner.
