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: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a severe psychiatric disorder affecting women more than men. Changes in anterior cingulate cortex cortical thickness (ACC CT) may be crucial to understanding sex influences in MDD onset and recurrency. Methods: Taken from the large open-source REST-meta-MDD database, we contrasted 499 patients with MDD (381 first-episode MDD, 118 recurrent MDD) and 524 healthy control participants using linear mixed-effects models and normative modeling and investigated whether sex differences affected ACC CT and its subregions differently during the course of depressive illness. Results: Overall, females showed thinner ACC CT compared with males. Female patients with a first depressive episode showed significantly thinner ACC CT compared with male patients with first-episode MDD (Cohen's Conclusions: Sex determined ACC CT changes over the course of depressive illness. Because the ACC subdivisions in question are associated with dysregulation of emotions, our observations substantiate the need for early and prolonged sex-specific clinical interventions.
