Bold indicates a significant treatment benefit in predicted benefit strata.

CDRS-R children’s depression rating scale-revised, CBT cognitive behavioral therapy, FLX fluoxetine, COMB combination treatment.

CBT vs. FLX: Rows represent groups of patients that are predicted to benefit from FLX over CBT with different magnitudes (bottom 25%, 25–50%, 50–75%, top 25%). The estimated benefit from FLX compared to CBT within each stratum is computed as the difference in CDRS-R between the patients who were treated with CBT and those treated with FLX. The participants who were predicted to benefit the most (top 25%) were estimated to benefit significantly from FLX with on average 16.9 CDRS-R difference. Adj p = adjusted p-value.

CBT vs. COMB: Rows represent groups of patients that are predicted to benefit from COMB over CBT with different magnitudes (bottom 25%, 25–50%, 50–75%, top 25%). The estimated benefit from COMB compared to CBT within each group is computed as the difference in CDRS-R between the patients who were treated with CBT and those treated with COMB. The participants who were predicted to benefit more from COMB (top 50%) were estimated to benefit significantly from COMB. Adj p = adjusted p-value.

FLX vs. COMB: Rows represent groups of patients that are predicted to benefit from COMB over FLX with different magnitudes (bottom 25%, 25–50%, 50–75%, top 25%). The estimated benefit from COMB compared to FLX within each group is computed as the difference in CDRS-R between the patients who were treated with FLX and those treated with COMB. Adj p = adjusted p-value.
