Representativeness of survey participants in relation to mental disorders: a linkage between national registers and a population-representative survey.
Article in International journal of population data science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Introduction: Surveys and registers have provided important insights into the mental health of the community. However, both sources have strengths and limitations. While participation in surveys has been shown to be lower among those with mental disorders, misclassification and limited information on confounders are typical issues for registers. Objectives: To examine if participants of the Central Denmark Region's 2017 Methods: By linking data from the Central Denmark Region's 2017 Results: Based on register data, 10.4% (n = 110,492) of the eligible population had received a diagnosis of any mental disorder prior to the date of this survey. Among the unweighted survey sample, 8.2% (n = 2,648) had received a diagnosis; once non-response weights were applied, this corresponded to 9.5%. Representativeness varied by sex, age and type of mental disorder. For example, people with organic disorders or substance use disorders were generally underrepresented among survey participants of all ages; however, representativeness of common disorders such as mood or neurotic disorders was generally good. With respect to the association of any mental disorder and general medical conditions, we found that estimates were similar for survey samples (both weighted and unweighted) compared to the entire eligible population. Conclusions: People with a previous diagnosis of a mental disorder are slightly underrepresented in the survey. However, this selection bias was minimized when non-response weights were applied. Associations between mental disorders and general medical conditions did not appear to be affected by selection bias. With the application of non-response weights, the survey provided a sample representative of the general population in terms of mental disorder diagnoses.
