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
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects >163 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of disability in China. Functional impairment occurs alongside cognitive symptoms, anxiety, and depression, reducing quality of life and productivity in patients with MDD. Purpose: The multimodal antidepressant vortioxetine has demonstrated efficacy in relieving depressive and functional symptoms of MDD in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The RELIEVE China study aimed to investigate the real-world effectiveness of vortioxetine in China. Patients and Methods: This was an observational, prospective cohort study in patients with MDD initiating treatment with vortioxetine at physician's discretion in China. Participants were followed up for 24 weeks and assessed at 3 time points: baseline, week 8, and week 24. The primary objective was to assess the change from baseline to weeks 8 and 24 in functional impairment as measured by Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score. Additional assessments included SDS subdomains, measures of depression severity, anxiety, and cognition. The safety and tolerability of vortioxetine were also examined. Results: In total, 859 patients were included in the analysis. A consistent and significant improvement in functional impairment was observed during the study, with baseline mean SDS total score (16.7 points) decreasing by 5.42 (SE, 0.22) and 8.71 (SE, 0.226) points at week 8 and week 24, respectively ( Conclusion: This study demonstrated the short- and long-term effectiveness and tolerability of vortioxetine for patients with MDD in a real-world setting in China. These findings are consistent with the efficacy and safety profile observed during RCTs.
