Neural Interoceptive Processing is Modulated by Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: A critical advance in depression research is to clarify the hypothesized role of interoceptive processing in neural mechanisms of treatment efficacy. This study tests whether cortical interoceptive processing, as indexed by the heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP), is modulated by deep brain stimulation (DBS) to the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) for treatment resistant depression (TRD). Methods: Eight patients with TRD were enrolled in a study of SCC DBS safety and efficacy. Electroencephalography (EEG) and symptom severity measures were sampled in a laboratory setting over the course of a six-month treatment protocol. The primary outcome measure was an EEG-derived HEP, which reflects cortical processing of heartbeat sensation. Cluster-based permutation analyses were used to test the effect of stimulation and time in treatment on the HEP. The change in signal magnitude after treatment was correlated with change in depression severity as measured by the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Results: HEP amplitude was greater after 24 weeks of treatment ( Conclusion: Brain-based evidence substantiates a theorized link between interoception and depression, and suggests an interoceptive contribution to the mechanism of treatment efficacy with deep brain stimulation for severe depression.
