Comprehensiveness of care for women with depression: Association between primary care use and cervical cancer screening.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo explore comprehensiveness of care in patients with depression by examining associations between a diagnosis of depression, frequency of primary care visits, and Papanicolaou test completion.
designCross-sectional retrospective survey using electronic medical record data from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network.
settingPrimary care practices in Ontario.
participantsWomen aged 21 to 69 eligible to receive Pap tests in 2015.
main outcome measuresAssociations between 2 predictors (depression and number of primary care visits in 2015) and Pap test completion were measured.
resultsOverall, 125,258 women were included: 20.5% completed a Pap test and 16.4% had a diagnosis of depression. Having a diagnosis of depression was associated with lower likelihood of Pap test completion (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=0.92, 95% CI 0.88 to 0.95). A greater number of primary care visits was associated with a higher likelihood of Pap test completion; this association was stronger in women with a diagnosis of depression (AOR=4.9, 95% CI 4.16 to 5.69) than in those without (AOR=3.4, 95% CI 3.25 to 3.60).
conclusionWhile depression was associated with fewer completed Pap tests, women with depression who saw their family doctors more often were more likely to be screened for cervical cancer. More primary care visits for depression treatment may be associated with an improved likelihood of screening for cervical cancer.
