Paroxetine Effect on Nerve Growth Factor, Human Neurotrophin-4, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels in Post-stroke Depression.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The aim of this study is to explore paroxetine's effect on nerve growth factor (NGF), human neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in post-stroke depression. Ninety-two post-stroke depression patients from April 2021 to April 2023 in our hospital were selected and numbered 1 to 92 after enrollment. Forty-six patients with odd number and 46 patients with even number were, respectively, included in the control and observation group. In addition to basic treatment, control group was treated with flupentixol melitracen tablets orally, and observation group received paroxetine hydrochloride orally. The levels of NGF, NT-4, BDNF, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), homocysteine (Hcy), noradrenaline (NE), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) changes of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). NGF, NT-4, and BDNF levels were compared between groups at T0, T1, and T2 levels were higher, and the levels at T2 were higher than those at T1, and observation group levels were higher (P < 0.05); NGF, NT-4, and BDNF levels were compared among groups, time, and interaction. 5-HT, Hcy, and NE levels at T0 were compared between groups; 5-HT and NE levels at T1 and T2 were higher than those at T0, the levels at T2 were higher than those at T1, and observation group levels were higher (P < 0.05); Hcy level at T1 and T2 was lower, its level at T2 was lower than those at T1, and observation group levels were lower (P < 0.05); 5-HT, Hcy, and NE levels were compared among groups, time, and interaction (P < 0.05). HAMD and NIHSS at T0 were compared; T1 and T2 were lower than T0, T2 was lower than T1, and observation group was lower (P < 0.05); HAMD and NIHSS were compared among groups, time, and interaction (P < 0.05). For post-stroke depression, paroxetine treatment can effectively improve NGF, NT-4, BDNF, 5-HT, Hcy, and NE levels and effectively reduce the degree of neurological damage and depression, which has high clinical application value.
