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

Mental disorders, especially depression, have become a rising problem in modern society. The development of methods and markers for the early detection of mental disorders is an actual problem. Psychological questionnaires are the only tools for evaluating the symptoms of mental disorders in clinical practice today. The electroencephalography (EEG) based non-invasive and cost-effective method seems feasible for the early detection of depression in occupational and family medicine centers and personal monitoring. The reliability of the EEG markers in the early detection of depression assumes their high temporal stability and correlation with the scores of depression questionnaires. The study was been performed on 17 healthy people over three years. Two hypotheses have been evaluated in the current study: first, the temporal stability of EEG markers is close to the stability of the scores of depression questionnaires, and second, EEG markers and depression questionnaires' scores are not correlated in healthy people. The results of the performed study support both hypotheses: the temporal stability of EEG markers is high and close to the stability of depression questionnaires scores and the correlation between the EEG markers and depression questionnaires scores is not detected in healthy people. The results of the current study contribute to the interpretation of results in depression EEG studies and to the feasibility of EEG markers in the detection of depression.
