Treatment resistant depression: Socio-demographic characteristics, comorbidity and treatment patterns from the All of Us Research Program.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 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
objectiveThis study used the All of Us (AoU) cohort to investigate treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and its demographic associations, comorbidities and antidepressant treatment patterns.
methodsElectronic health records were used to classify major depressive disorder participants as treatment resistant. Logistic regressions determined socio-demographic and comorbidity differences between participants with TRD and treatment-responsive depression. Sankey diagrams visualized differences in treatment patterns.
results13.92 % of the depression population was characterized as TRD. The TRD population was 19.10 % of the medicated depression population. Compared to treatment-responsive depression individuals, those with TRD had lower education (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.10 [1.03, 1.16]), were unemployed (OR = 1.35 [1.27, 1.43]) or in lower income brackets (OR < 35 k = 1.10 [1.03, 1.18]), and were more likely to be between ages 35-44 (OR = 1.15 [1.07, 1.24]). TRD relative to treatment-responsive depression individuals were more likely to have comorbidity with anxiety disorders (ORs ranging from 1.85 to 2.56 for various forms), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (OR = 2.10) and substance use disorders (ORs from 1.36 to 3.12). A Sankey diagram revealed heterogeneity in treatment among TRD and treatment-responsive depression.
conclusionThis study finds that TRD is especially prevalent among younger individuals, those with lower income, the unemployed, and individuals with comorbid anxiety or substance use disorders. This underscores the importance of integrating socio-demographic and clinical characteristics into targeted strategies aimed at identifying high-risk populations and guiding more effective treatment approaches.
