Development and remission of depressive symptoms and treatment with hormonal contraceptives.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We present two cases of female patients with a history of depression who developed depressive symptoms after treatment with hormonal contraceptives (HC) in the form of combined oral contraceptive pill, progestin-only pill and combined contraceptive vaginal ring. The presented two cases are based on the women's medical records complemented by personal interviews. The existing literature on the effects of HC on depression is inconclusive. Patient-based decisions with consideration of the individual history and predispositions are recommended when starting oral contraceptives. If depressive symptoms occur, decisions regarding discontinuation need to be made on an individual basis.
