Figure 1
Diagram illustrating the flow of depressed patients through the study. The chart shows the recruitment of 208 patients, the exclusion of 21 non-euthyroid individuals, the placebo response, the desertion by the third week and two months and the HAM-D17 average scores of each group. *one of the placebo non-responder patients missed this control and thus there are really 146 people still in the study but only 145 evaluated for early response.
