Researchers from the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Healthcare (IQWiG) in Germany have reviewed a number of studies into the effectiveness of the antidepressants venlafaxine and duloxetine. They reviewed a total of 80 studies and found that both drugs were more effective than a placebo at treating depression symptoms and helped to prevent a relapse.

It depends on what the placebo given is.
Yes, the placebo effect is one of the great mysteries of medicine. I guess as this is a review of lots of different studies the placebo would have varied in each trial.
