Evaluating Clinical Decision Supports to Improve Adolescent Depression Screening and Management in Pediatric Primary Care.
Article in Academic pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine how depression screening rates changed after implementation of electronic health record (EHR) clinical decision support tools and medical assistant (MA)-led depression screening at an outpatient pediatric practice.
methodsWe assessed changes in depression screening rates at an urban academic pediatric clinic between September 2016 and December 2020 using interrupted time series analysis. During this time, we implemented 1) EHR clinical decision support tools for depression screening and management (November 2017) and 2) training of MAs to screen for depression (July 2019).
resultsOver the study period, 3963 patients received care in the pediatric clinic. Their mean age was 14.9 years (standard deviation, 2.6) and about half were female (n = 2011, 51%). The majority were Black/African American (n = 2852, 72%) and had private insurance (n = 2860, 72%). Depression screening rates increased from 3% to >80%. Preintervention, depression screening rates were not increasing (0.9% per month, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.3% to 2.1%; P = .15). After implementing EHR clinical decision support tools, there was a 15.6% (95% CI: 2.5%-28.6%, P = .02) increase in the screening rate. Also, MA-led screening was associated with a 24.6% (95% CI: 9.9%-39.2%, P = .002) screening rate increase.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that EHR clinical decision support tools and MA-led screening are likely to increase adolescent depression screening and management in pediatric clinics.
