This article was published in JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association in January 2016. In writing about this article, what might make a good topic sentence depends on whether the essay being written is a summary or an argumentative essay making some point related to the article.
For a summary, a topic sentence should provide a reader with an overview of the article's contents. A typical topic sentence might say something like: "In this meta-study, O'Connor et al. review existing studies on screening for pregnancy and postpartum depression, assessing the harms and benefits of such screenings and the effectiveness of different screening instruments."
An argumentative paper might draw conclusions about the value of such screening based on the information provided in the article. Thus a topic sentence might read "In light of the meta-study by O'Connor et al., it can be concluded that depression screening is effective in reducing the incidence of pregnancy and postpartum depression in women, but this must be balanced against evidence that antidepressant use during pregnancy may be harmful."
