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

For the first time after many decades, many new antidepressants have been approved and many more are under various stages of development and will soon be available in the market. The new drugs present a range of new mechanisms of action with benefits in terms of speed of action, tolerability and range of treatable disorders. Neurosteroids have been recently approved and their rapid benefit may extend from postpartum depression to anxious depression and bipolar depression, dextromethorphan and bupropion combination may prove useful in major depression but also in treatment resistant depression, dextromethadone is a possible augmentation in partial antidepressant response, psychedelic drugs have the potential of long lasting benefits after a single administration, though are still experimental treatments. Botulinum has the same advantage of psychedelics of a single administration and its antidepressant effects may last for weeks or more. Further potentially interesting new antidepressant mechanisms include new drug targets, drug repurposing and genetic or epigenetic manipulations. It is therefore important that clinicians are kept up to date with new evidence so that new evidence can be rapidly translated into clinical practice.
