Overcoming treatment gaps in the management of depression with non-pharmacological adjunctive strategies.
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
There is considerable evidence that simple, cost-effective, non-pharmaceutical strategies can be readily implemented to improve outcomes in the treatment of depression. It is estimated that 4.4% of the world's population suffers from depression. Despite being a major public health concern and the availability of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, many depressed people remain undiagnosed and receive no or inappropriate treatment. Several possible underlying factor of treatment gap can be identified in relation to pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy of depression, including side effects, partial remission, treatment-resistant depression and the limited availability of psychotherapy. In addition to developing new therapeutic options, much more could be done to optimise the use of existing therapies, including combining available drug treatments with quick, simple and cost-effective non-pharmacological methods: low-intensity psychological interventions, online self-help tools and lifestyle medicine. In addition to increasing the effectiveness of treatments, prevention is equally important: awareness programs to further reduce the treatment gap, and community dissemination of the life skills that help maintain positive mental health.
