  1. With regard to response, odds ratios higher than 1 favor the row-defining treatment, and odds ratios lower than 1 favor the column-defining treatment. With regard to remission, odds ratios higher than 1 favor the column-defining treatment, and odds ratios lower than 1 favor the row-defining treatment. Reciprocals should be used to obtain odds ratios in the opposite direction. Bold-faced figures indicate a difference between treatments with 95 % credible intervals of estimates excluding 1
  2. Abbreviations: CBT = cognitive behavioral therapy; Ftf = face-to-face; Gsh = guided self-help; IPT = interpersonal therapy; Nmc = no/minimal contact; PDT = psychodynamic therapy; PST = problem solving therapy; Rtl = remote therapist-lead; SSRI = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; TCA = tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants; UC = usual care
  3. The results are odds ratios with 95 % credible intervals when comparing the column-defined treatments with the row-defined treatments
