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

The high inter-individual heterogeneity in individuals with depression limits neuroimaging studies with case-control approaches to identify promising biomarkers for individualized clinical decision-making. We put forward a framework integrating the normative model and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to quantitatively assess altered gray matter morphology in depression from a dimensional perspective. The proposed framework parses altered gray matter morphology into overlapping latent disease factors, and assigns patients distinct factor compositions, thus preserving inter-individual variability. We identified four robust disease factors with distinct clinical symptoms and cognitive processes in depression. In addition, we showed the quantitative relationship between the group-level gray matter morphological differences and disease factors. Furthermore, this framework significantly predicted factor compositions of patients in an independent dataset. The framework provides an approach to resolve neuroanatomical heterogeneity in depression.
