Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDepression is a prevalent mental health disorder with significant impacts on individuals and families. We hypothesize that combining family cognitive therapy (FCT) with pharmacotherapy will be more effective in managing depression and improving family dynamics than pharmacotherapy alone.
aimTo investigate the effects of FCT combined with sertraline on depression, aggressive behavior, and family functioning in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
methodsThis study involved 178 patients diagnosed with MDD at the Shaoxing 7th People's Hospital from January 2022 to April 2024. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received FCT. FCT included both patient-focused cognitive therapy and family-focused psychological guidance over a 12-week period.
resultsThe observation group receiving combined treatment showed significantly greater reductions in depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory scores: 27.4 ± 4.7 to 18.6 ± 5.2) compared to the control group (28.1 ± 5.5 to 20.9 ± 4.9), with
conclusionThe combination of FCT with sertraline effectively reduces depressive symptoms and improves family dynamics in patients with MDD.
