1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

RATIONALE AND

objectivesMore than half of the bipolar depression (BD) subjects are misdiagnosed as unipolar depression (UD) due to lack of objective diagnostic criteria. We aimed to identify microstructural neuronal changes differentiating BD from UD groups using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). The objective of the study is to identify an objective neuro-imaging marker to differentiate BD from UD. MATERIALS AND

methodsA prospective, cross-sectional study included total of 62 subjects with diagnosis of bipolar depression (

resultsBD group showed increased MD, RD, decreased AK at the left amygdala and decreased MK and RK at the right hemi-cerebellum. UD group showed increased MK and RK at the right external capsule; and increased AK, MK, and RK at the right amygdala.

conclusionThe right and left amygdala, right external capsule, and right hemi-cerebellum showed microstructural abnormalities capable of differentiating BD and UD groups. Diffusion imaging especially DKI can aid in management of depression patients.
