Putamen Structure and Function in Familial Risk for Depression: A Multimodal Imaging Study.
Article in Biological psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe putamen has been implicated in depressive disorders, but how its structure and function increase depression risk is not clearly understood. Here, we examined how putamen volume, neuronal density, and mood-modulated functional activity relate to family history and prospective course of depression.
methodsThe study includes 115 second- and third-generation offspring at high or low risk for depression based on the presence or absence of major depressive disorder in the first generation. Offspring were followed longitudinally using semistructured clinical interviews blinded to their familial risk; putamen structure, neuronal integrity, and functional activation were indexed by structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (N-acetylaspartate/creatine ratio), and functional MRI activity modulated by valence and arousal components of a mood induction task, respectively.
resultsAfter adjusting for covariates, the high-risk individuals had lower putamen volume (standardized betas, β-
conclusionsFindings demonstrate abnormalities in putamen structure and function in individuals at high risk for major depressive disorder. Future studies should focus on this region as a potential biomarker for depressive illness, noting meanwhile that differences attributable to family history may peak at different ages based on which MRI modality is being used to assay them.
