Agomelatine: an agent against anhedonia and abulia?
Review in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Anhedonia and abulia are syndromes often presented as components of various psychiatric and neurological disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, stroke, multiple sclerosis and brain injury. On the basis of the hypothesis that alterations in the dopaminergic motivational system might be involved in the etiopathogenesis of these clinical phenomena, the antidepressant agomelatine is a highly interesting candidate substance for their treatment because of its indirect dopaminergic effects resulting from its melatoninergic and partial anti-serotoninergic properties. Systematic clinical studies are urgently needed to test the hypothesis that agomelatine might be a clinically useful and versatile anti-anhedonic and/or anti-abulic substance.
