Program of algorithm for pharmacological treatment of major depressive disorder in China: Benefits or not?
Article in Heliyon, 2023. 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
Background: This research was designed to investigate Algorithm Guided Treatment (AGT) and clinical traits for the prediction of antidepressant treatment outcomes in Chinese patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods: This study included 581 patients who had reached treatment response and 406 patients remained non-responded observed after three months of treatment. Sociodemographic factors, clinical traits, and psychiatric rating scales for evaluating therapeutic responses between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was adopted to determine the risk factors of unresponsive to antidepressant (URA) in MDD. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was utilized to compare the therapeutic response between AGT and treatment as usual (TAU). Results: Compared to the MDD responsive to antidepressant (RA) group, the URA group had significantly lower rates of the following clinical traits: married status, anxious distress, moderate to severe depressive symptoms, and higher rates of comorbidity ( Conclusions: The factors may affect the therapeutic responses and compliance of patients, increasing the non-response risk for antidepressants. Therapeutic responses might be improved by increasing the clarification and elucidation of different symptom clusters of patients. Benefits on treatment response to AGT were not found in our study, indicating a one-size-fits-all approach may not work.
