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

Introduction: Depression is prevalent after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there is a lack of understanding of the brain-based correlates of depression post-TBI. This systematic review aimed to synthesize findings of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies to identify consistently reported neural correlates of depression post-TBI. Methods: A search for relevant published studies was conducted through OVID (MEDLINE, APA PsycINFO, and Embase), with an end date of August 3rd, 2023. Fourteen published studies were included in this review. Results: TBI patients with depression exhibited distinct changes in diffusion- based white matter fractional anisotropy, with the direction of change depending on the acuteness or chronicity of TBI. Decreased functional connectivity (FC) of the salience and default mode networks was prominent alongside the decreased volume of gray matter within the insular, dorsomedial prefrontal, and ventromedial prefrontal cortices. Seven studies reported the correlation between observed neuroimaging and depression outcomes. Of these studies, 42% indicated that FC of the bilateral medial temporal lobe subregions was correlated with depression outcomes in TBI. Discussion: This systematic review summarizes existing neuroimaging evidence and reports brain regions that can be leveraged as potential treatment targets in future studies examining depression post-TBI.
