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

Depression is the most common mental illness characterized by anhedonia, avolition and loss of appetite and motivation. The majority of conventional antidepressants are monoaminergic system selective inhibitors, yet the efficacies are not sufficient. Up to 30% of depressed patients are resistant to treatment with available antidepressants, underscoring the urgent need for development of novel therapeutics to meet clinical needs. Recent years, compounds acting on the glutamate system have attracted wide attention because of their strong, rapid and sustained antidepressant effects. Among them, selective inhibitors of metabotropic glutamate receptors 2 and 3 (mGluR2/3) have shown robust antidepressant benefits with fewer side-effects in both preclinical and clinical studies. Thus, we here attempt to summarize the antidepressant effects and underlying mechanisms of these inhibitors revealed in recent years as well as analyze the potential value of mGluR2/3 selective inhibitors in the treatment of depression.
