C-Reactive protein concentrations in reproductive-aged women with major mood disorders.

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
To examine associations between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and depressive symptoms in reproductive-aged women with mood disorders. Women (N = 86) with major depressive or bipolar disorder in a specialized mood disorders program provided plasma samples which were analyzed for CRP concentrations and categorized by tertiles (T1, low; T2, middle; T3 high). Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Inventory of Depressive Symptoms. We hypothesized that CRP concentrations would be significantly associated with the following: (1) depressive symptoms; (2) pregnancy, (3) body mass index, and (4) counts of white blood cells and absolute neutrophils and percentage of segmented neutrophils. The distribution of CRP concentrations was highly skewed with a median of 2.45 mg/L and an interquartile range 0.90 - 8.17 mg/L. Elevated plasma levels of CRP were not associated with depressive symptoms, which did not differ by tertile group either before or after adjusting for BMI, pregnancy status, and their interactions. Women in T3 had 5 times greater odds of pregnancy compared to women in T1 (p = .021). However, women in T2 had 11% greater BMI on average (p = 0.023), and women in T3 had 47% greater BMI compared to those in T1 (p < 0.001). Women in T3 had higher mean white blood cell counts than those in T1 and T2, the percentage of neutrophils was higher in T2 and T3 compared to T1, and women in T3 had higher absolute neutrophil counts compared to T1. CRP concentrations varied widely and were significantly elevated in reproductive-aged women with high BMI and current pregnancy, but not with depressive symptoms in this sample of depressed women.
