Differences in the cognitive profile of depression between racial groups.

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
backgroundThere is little research concerning whether race is associated with different clinical presentations of psychiatric disorders. Understanding the racial aspects of cognitive differences among depressed adults could help identify specific targets for depression treatment.
methodsWe recruited 59 participants (52.5% white, 47.5% African American), age 18 to 60, with a current diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD). All participants underwent a cognitive battery that included tasks assessing decision-making, response inhibition, working memory, and executive planning. Differences between white and African American groups were analyzed using analysis of variance or equivalent nonparametric tests.
resultsThere were no differences in demographic variables of age, sex, and education, but white individuals reported a significantly earlier age of first depressive episode compared with African American individuals. The African American group, however, showed significantly lower quality of decision-making and less risk adjustment on the Cambridge Gambling Task, and made more errors on the Spatial Working Memory task.
conclusionsOur finding that specific cognitive domains differ as a function of racial differences in MDD might have differential prognostic and treatment implications.
