Blunted diurnal interleukin-6 rhythm is associated with amygdala emotional hyporeactivity and depression: a modulating role of gene-stressor interactions.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Background: The immune system has major roles in the brain and related psychopathology. Disrupted interleukin-6 secretion and aberrant amygdala emotional reactivity are well-documented in stress-related mental disorders. The amygdala regulates psychosocial stress-related interleukin-6 affected by related genes. These led us to comprehensively examine the relationship between interleukin-6, amygdala activity, and stress-related mental symptoms under gene-stressor interactions. Methods: One hundred eight nonclinical participants with various levels of anxiety/depression underwent magnetic resonance imaging scans during an emotional face task for amygdala activity and saliva collection (at 10-time points across 2 days) for the total output and diurnal patterns of interleukin-6. Gene-stressor interactions between rs1800796 (C/G) and rs2228145 (C/A) and stressful life events for the biobehavioral measures were explored. Results: The blunting of interleukin-6 diurnal pattern was associated with hypoactivation of the basolateral amygdala in response to fearful (vs. neutral) faces ( Conclusion: Here we show that the blunted interleukin-6 diurnal rhythm predicts depressive symptoms, modulated by amygdala emotional hyporeactivity and gene-stressor interactions. These findings indicate a potential mechanism underlying vulnerability to depressive disorders, suggesting their early detection, prevention, and treatment through the understanding of immune system dysregulation.
