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

There is limited evidence on the economic burden of chronic diseases with co-occurring depression and alcohol use disorder (AUD) for people in low-and middle-income countries. We describe patient costs related to the utilisation of services and identify factors associated with the economic burden of co-occurring depression and AUD for people with HIV and/or diabetes using government health services in South Africa. We used baseline data from participants enrolled in a cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT). The sample (N=1,340) comprised participants classified as having risk of depression but not AUD (
