Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; FIBSER, Frequency, Intensity, and Burden of Side Effects Ratings; MD, mean difference; Mean Δ, mean change from baseline; NR, not reported; NS, not significant; OR, odds ratio, PGx, pharmacogenomic-guided treatment; PP, per protocol; RR, relative risk; SD, standard deviation, SE, standard error; TAU, treatment as usual.

a

Calculated using Review Manager on basis of data provided in article.

b

Measured at week 8. Defined as a probability of a causal link to the medication; side effects unrelated to medications not included.

c

Data provided only for per-protocol cohort and not overall cohort as with other outcomes.

d

Insufficient data provided to confirm denominator.

e

Calculated on basis of tolerability subpopulation (FIBSER > 0 at baseline).

f

Study data and P values assessed using ANOVA and therefore unadjusted values not calculated.

g

Based on symptoms over past week. Calculated as mean change from baseline to follow-up.

h

Patient needed to reduce dose or stop the antidepressant.

i

Assessed using Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale.

j

Number was included in full analysis protocol; however, unclear denominator was used for analyses.
