The impact of a coach-guided personalized depression risk communication program on the risk of major depressive episode: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06619366 (The Impact of Coach-guided Risk Communication on the Risk of Major Depression), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundDepression is a highly prevalent and disabling mental health problem. Self-help has been strongly advocated for dealing with depression. Built upon the research on risk prediction modeling and risk communication, we developed a coach-guided, personalized depression risk communication tool (PDRC) for sharing information about individualized depression risk and evidence-based self-help strategies. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of the PDRC on the 12-month risk of major depressive episode (MDE) in Canadians who are at high risk of MDE.
methodsThis is an assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two arms. We will recruit 500 males and 500 females in the communities across the country. Individuals are eligible, if they: (1) are 18 years or older, (2) have not had a depressive episode in the past two months, (3) are at high risk of MDE based on the sex-specific risk predictive algorithms for MDE (predicted risk of 6.5% + for men and of 11.2% + for women), (4) can communicate in either English or French, and (5) agree to be contacted for follow-up interviews. After screening and baseline assessment, participants will be randomized by sex into intervention and control group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants in the intervention group will receive the coach-guided PDRC. The participants are assessed at baseline, 3 and 12 months via computer assisted telephone interview system, regarding the presence of MDE, depressive and anxiety symptoms, use of self-help strategies, mental health services use and self-efficacy. DISCUSSION: The coach-guided PDRC may empower users to actively engage in self-management, leading to reduced risk of MDE. If successful, the coach-guided PDRC will lead to a novel selective prevention program that is closely aligned with the tiered mental health services model, contributing to early prevention of depression and better mental health wellbeing.
