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

backgroundDepressive symptoms are highly prevalent in first-episode psychosis (FEP) and worsen clinical outcomes. It is currently difficult to determine which patients will have persistent depressive symptoms based on a clinical assessment. We aimed to determine whether depressive symptoms and post-psychotic depressive episodes can be predicted from baseline clinical data, quality of life, and blood-based biomarkers, and to assess the geographical generalizability of these models.

methodsTwo FEP trials were analyzed: European First-Episode Schizophrenia Trial (EUFEST) (

resultsA total of 320 EUFEST and 234 RAISE-ETP participants were included (mean [SD] age: 25.93 [5.60] years, 56.56% male; 23.90 [5.27] years, 73.50% male). Models predicted changes in depressive symptoms at 6 months with balanced accuracy (BAC) of 66.26% (RAISE-ETP) and 75.09% (EUFEST), and at 12 months with BAC of 67.88% (RAISE-ETP) and 77.61% (EUFEST). Depressive episodes were predicted with BAC of 66.67% (RAISE-ETP) and 69.01% (EUFEST), showing fair external predictive performance.

conclusionsPredictive models using clinical data, quality of life, and biomarkers accurately forecast depressive events in FEP, demonstrating generalization across populations.
