The United States index of socioeconomic deprivation for individuals (USiDep).
Article in Personalized medicine in psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Individuals experiencing socioeconomic deprivation consistently demonstrate poorer physical and mental health. Income alone is inadequate as a measure of socioeconomic status (SES); a better measure for assessing the deprivation status of individuals is needed. Methods: The New Zealand Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation for Individuals, a validated, eight-item measure of deprivation, was modified to create the United States Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation for Individuals (USiDep). The questionnaire was administered to patients with major depressive disorder participating in two clinical trials. Spearman's correlation coefficients evaluated associations between USiDep scores with income and other measures associated with deprivation. Results: The USiDep was completed by 118 participants, demonstrating adequate internal consistency (Crohnbach's alpha = 0.766) and strong item-total correlations. USiDep scores were moderately correlated with past-year personal income (Spearman's rho = -0.362, p < .001) and several other measures related to deprivation, including body mass index, level of education, quality of life, severity of childhood traumatic events, self-reported physical health, and negative life events. Patients scoring 5 on the USiDep (the highest possible score, indicating greater deprivation) had significantly lower rates of remission after 12 weeks of treatment than those scoring ≤ 4 (1/12, 8.3% vs 40/98, 40.8%, respectively, p = .03), whereas the lowest income group showed no significant associations with outcomes. Conclusion: The USiDep is a valid, brief questionnaire for assessing SES that has utility for clinical research and may serve as a predictor of treatment outcomes in clinical trials. Validation of the USiDep in healthy controls and other medically and psychiatrically ill populations is warranted.
