Studying the Intergenerational Transmission of Risk for Depression: Current Status and Future Directions.
Article in Current directions in psychological science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05989412 (Mobile Screening for Major Depressive Disorder in Adults From an Ethnically and Socioeconomically Diverse Population.), which is not on this map. Cited by 76 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Studying offspring of depressed mothers is a promising strategy for elucidating factors that contribute to depression onset, given that these offspring are three to six times more likely to develop depression than are their low-risk peers. In this paper we briefly describe representative findings from studies of younger and older offspring of depressed mothers and identify factors that have garnered the most consistent empirical support across development. We discuss what these studies can and cannot tell us about mechanisms that might underlie the intergenerational transmission of risk for depression, regardless of the age of offspring being studied. Finally, in light of limitations of this literature, we offer recommendations for future research.
