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

Objectives: Anxiety and depression are associated with poorer outcomes for people with inflammatory rheumatological conditions (IRCs). A systematic review of psychosocial interventions to prevent anxiety and/or depression in people with long-term conditions was conducted. This analysis aimed to explore the effectiveness of such interventions in IRCs and the subsequent impact on condition and quality of life. Methods: A systematic review examining psychosocial interventions to prevent anxiety and/or depression in people with IRCs. Studies reporting a psychosocial intervention for IRCs and no clinical diagnosis of anxiety or depression at baseline were included. Seven databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central, Web of Science Core Collection) were searched. Results: The search identified 24 001 unique papers, with 46 being included in the main review. Twelve of these focused on IRCs and are reported in this paper: 10 Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT) and 2 non-RCTs with 830 participants. Three categories of interventions were identified: psychological therapies ( Conclusions: Offering psychological therapies may help prevent anxiety and/or depression in people with IRCs and may also lead to improvements in fatigue. Given the impact of mood and fatigue on outcomes, further high-quality studies are needed.
