1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have circadian properties, suggesting that the antidepressive action of SSRIs may also be attributable to circadian mechanisms. Another study reported an association between clock gene (CLOCK) and improvements in insomnia symptoms from SSRIs treatment. Therefore, we examined the association between CLOCK and the efficacy of fluvoxamine treatment in 121 patients with Japanese major depressive disorder (MDD). The MDD patients in this study had scores of 12 or higher on the 17 items of the Structured Interview Guide for Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (SIGH-D). We defined a therapeutic response as a decrease of more than a 50% in baseline SIGH-D within 8 weeks, and clinical remission as a SIGH-D score of less than seven at 8 weeks. We selected three tagging SNPs in CLOCK for the subsequent statistical association analysis. We detected a significant association between rs3736544, a synonymous polymorphism in exon 20, and the fluvoxamine therapeutic response in MDD in the allele/genotype-wise analyses. In addition, remission with fluvoxamine was also significantly associated with rs3736544. These associations remained significant after Bonferroni correction. Moreover, haplotype analysis findings supported these significant associations, which appeared to be due mainly to rs3736544, in the fluvoxamine therapeutic remission. Our results indicate that CLOCK genotype may be a predictor of fluvoxamine treatment response in Japanese MDD. However, our sample size was small, and a replication study using larger samples may be required for conclusive results.
