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

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of vortioxetine for improving depressive symptoms, cognitive performance, daily and global functioning in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in real-world clinical practice. We retrospectively identified 46 AD patients who had received treatment for 12 months with vortioxetine. Drug effects were evaluated at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 months. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and in the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) to month 12. Cognitive and daily and global functioning changes were also evaluated. Significant baseline-to-endpoint improvement in depressive symptom severity was observed (
