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.

Abstract
backgroundMajor Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most disabling mental health problems worldwide. The Recovery Model emphasizes peer support to empower individuals with MDD, improve self-management, and patients' quality of life. Despite the demonstrated efficacy of peer-led interventions, further research is needed due to methodological limitations and variability in interventions across studies. Therefore, the objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an adjuvant peer-led intervention for the reduction of depressive symptoms in individuals diagnosed with MDD attended in primary care mental health units.
methodsA controlled, parallel, randomized clinical trial will be conducted. The intervention group (n = 35) will receive 6 weeks of peer-led sessions based on a peer support program drive whilst supervised by nurses, while the control group (n = 35) will use a mobile Health (mHealth) application for emotional wellness based on CBT for 6 weeks. Measurements will be collected at baseline, at 6 weeks, at 6 and 12 months after the intervention to evaluate post-intervention effects. The primary outcome is the reduction of depressive symptoms through the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) after the intervention. Secondary outcomes will involve measures such as adherence to psychiatric treatment, quality of life, adherence to mediterranean diet, alcohol consumption and physical activity. DISCUSSION: We hypothesize that this peer-led intervention, in contrast to the mHealth, will show improvement in BDI-II score reduction of 6 points after six weeks, 6 and 12 months. Standardized peer-led programs can benefit patients and professionals in terms of efficacy and feasibility of clinical treatment of depression, healthy habits, self-care and quality of life. In addition, they can provide recovery and relapse reduction, improved psychosocial support, minimization of intensive care use, and support for patient autonomy through self-management.
