1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: According to World Health Organization, India is a high tuberculosis (TB) and depression burden state. The risk of depression is higher among TB patients. Therefore, it is vital to focus on the mental well-being of TB patients. Objective: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of depression among drug-sensitive TB patients in Chandigarh city. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 305 TB patients. Trained investigators administered Patient Health Questionnaire 9 to screen for depression. Data analysis was done using Epi info software for windows. Results: The prevalence rate of depression among drug-sensitive TB patients was 7.2%. Current nonworking individuals were more likely to be depressed than their counterparts (OR = 3.7 (1.2-10.9)). Conclusion: Around one-tenth of the TB patients were suffering from depression. This necessitates physicians to regularly screen TB patients for depression and manage accordingly, which will help improve treatment adherence and outcome.
