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

Cognitive difficulties are prevalent in depression and are linked to various negative life outcomes such as psychosocial impairment, absenteeism, lower chance of recovery or remission, and overall poor quality of life. Thus, assessing cognitive functioning over time is key to expanding our understanding of depression. Recent methodological advances and the ubiquity of smartphones enable remote assessment of cognitive functioning through smartphone-based tasks and surveys. However, the association of smartphone-based assessments of cognitive functioning to depression severity remains underexplored. Using a dedicated mobile application for assessing cognitive functioning (THINC-it), we investigate within- and between-person associations between performance-based (attention, working memory, processing speed, attention switching) and self-report measures of cognitive functioning with depression severity in 475 participants from the RADAR-MDD (Remote Assessment of Disease and Relapse-Major Depressive Disorder) cohort study (
