Deep phenotyping as a contribution to personalized depression therapy: the GEParD and DaCFail protocols.
Article in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Depressive patients suffer from a complex of symptoms of varying intensity compromising their mood, emotions, self-concept, neurocognition, and somatic function. Due to a mosaic of aetiologies involved in developing depression, such as somatic, neurobiological, (epi-)genetic factors, or adverse life events, patients often experience recurrent depressive episodes. About 20-30% of these patients develop difficult-to-treat depression. Here, we describe the design of the GEParD (Genetics and Epigenetics of Pharmaco- and Psychotherapy in acute and recurrent Depression) cohort and the DaCFail (Depression-associated Cardiac Failure) case-control protocol. Both protocols intended to investigate the incremental utility of multimodal biomarkers including cardiovascular and (epi-)genetic markers, functional brain and heart imaging when evaluating the response to antidepressive therapy using comprehensive psychometry. From 2012 to 2020, 346 depressed patients (mean age 45 years) were recruited to the prospective, observational GEParD cohort protocol. Between 2016 and 2020, the DaCFail case-control protocol was initiated integrating four study subgroups to focus on heart-brain interactions and stress systems in patients > 50 years with depression and heart failure, respectively. For DaCFail, 120 depressed patients (mean age 60 years, group 1 + 2), of which 115 also completed GEParD, and 95 non-depressed controls (mean age 66 years) were recruited. The latter comprised 47 patients with heart failure (group 3) and 48 healthy subjects (group 4) of a population-based control group derived from the Characteristics and Course of Heart Failure Stages A-B and Determinants of Progression (STAAB) cohort study. Our hypothesis-driven, exploratory study design may serve as an exemplary roadmap for a standardized, reproducible investigation of personalized antidepressant therapy in an inpatient setting with focus on heart comorbidities in future multicentre studies.
