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

objectiveTo examine long-term trends in adolescent depression and suicide risk screening and interim symptom monitoring in pediatric primary care (PC) following implementation of universal screening at well-visits.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study examined electronic health record (EHR) data from 406,192 well-visits of 12 to 17-year-old pediatric patients from 2018 to 2024 in a large PC network in the United States. Screening was conducted using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9: Modified for Teens (PHQ-9-M). We evaluated trends over time in well-visit screening compliance, depression and suicide risk rates, and rates and timing of interim symptom monitoring between well-visits.

resultsScreening compliance improved from 82.1% to 96.0% (χ²

conclusionsIn the years following implementation of universal depression and suicide risk screening in a large PC network, screening compliance increased significantly. However, low rates of interim symptom monitoring for patients screening positive indicate a gap in secondary prevention. Improving risk-based follow-up procedures, including interim screening, in PC represents a critical next step to enhance the preventive potential of universal screening.
