We write to make some suggestions and potential improvements. First, to present the strength of statistical evidence, the authors colour the sectors according to the p values of a Ztest. According to the Cochran handbook, this could lead to overreliance and misinterpretation of p values, and assertive judgements about imprecision. One solution is to use a partially contextualised approach, according to the guidance of the GRADE working group. This approach also encourages researchers to use absolute values. After choosing reference intervention, researchers need to set thresholds for effects, which classify interventions into those with a trivial, small, moderate or large effect. The specific magnitude of the potential benefit or harm is more conducive to helping readers understand the evidence accurately. Second, in the Vitruvian plot, the increase in absolute event rate is in a 1:1 ratio with the increase in sector radius. Taking into account the general reader’s understanding of statistics, this could lead to misunderstandings. For example, if the radius is doubled, the area will be quadrupled. The sector area cannot accurately represent the corresponding absolute estimates. We suggest that the absolute event rate should be comparable to the ratio of shaded sectors to total sector area, which will avoid misunderstandings by graphically sensitive readers. Third, the original Vitruvian plot cannot show both the specific magnitude of the potential benefit or harm and the certainty of evidence at the same time. Especially when we use effect size to colour the sector, the certainty of evidence could present information of imprecision. We propose improvements to the Vitruvian plot to increase the presentation of the certainty of evidence. This facilitates the user to read the evidence coherently. Based on the original design, we improved the original Vitruvian plot as shown in figure 1. The data presented in the figure are fictitious. For demonstration purposes, we set the same threshold for each outcome. The green and red in the sector represent the two directions of the effect. The ratio of the shaded sector area to the total sector area is consistent with the absolute event rate. The area outside the circle is used to present the certainty of evidence. We find the Vitruvian plot to be very useful and sincerely hope that our suggestions could refine this visualisation tool for multiple outcomes in network metaanalysis.","PeriodicalId":12233,"journal":{"name":"Evidence Based Mental Health","volume":"25 4","pages":"e5"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10231525/pdf/ebmental-2022-300547.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10582545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence is anything presented in support of an assertion. Even if ‘evidence’ is not necessarily ‘evident’, be it strong (ideal scenario) or weak (too often the case), evidence is about data (scientific data, possibly!). Evidence can change over the years, but it is the closest we can get to the truth itself when we deal with healthrelated issues. As a practising psychiatrist, I think that evidence is the only objective starting point that should be used in clinical practice. An evidencebased decision is not ‘a priori’ determined only by the data and it may vary from one patient to another depending on individual clinical circumstances and personal preferences. However, we need data to justify our rational choice in clinical decision making; otherwise, patients will be treated according to mere—and too often, biased—opinions (the recent controversies about COVID19 treatments and vaccines are a clear example of ideology and disinformation). Given the inevitability of errors and inaccuracies in the scientific literature, we have a simple choice: we can either make the best use of the available evidence or dismiss and ignore it. Our journal has always favoured the former approach and rejected nihilism. Valid conclusions can be drawn from a critical and cautious use of the best available, even if flawed, evidence. In 2023, we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the foundation of EBMH. It is a remarkable achievement. And it is great to see that many of the previous editors and associate editors of the journal are still active as academics and clinicians, practising and disseminating evidencebased mental health across the globe. They should be congratulated for their pioneering vision of ‘harnessing advances in clinical epidemiology, biostatistics and information science to produce a coherent and comprehensive approach’ that allowed ‘clinicians to stay up to date with the most recent publications, and base their practice on the best available evidence.’ However, over the last quarter of a century, EBMH has changed dramatically. The journal started as an international digest of the most relevant studies in mental health and published only commissioned commentaries and opinion pieces. EBMH now has its core in unsolicited original research papers and methodological articles, and has become one of the top 10 mental health journals in the world in terms of impact factor (https:// ebmh.bmj.com/pages/about/).
