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

objectiveThe use of serotonin 5-HT

methodsA literature search using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases was performed from 1987 to January 2024 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) corresponding to the following inclusion criteria: (1) RCTs, (2) human studies; studies that (3) targeted patients with a psychiatric disorder (except for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder), (4) evaluated the effect of cognitive functions, (5) were written in English.

resultsFrom the 80 studies initially screened, three met the inclusion criteria. Two of these studies dealt with vascular depression while one focused on major depressive disorder (MDD). In MDD, combined treatment with buspirone and melatonin was more efficacious in ameliorating subjective cognitive disturbances compared to the use of buspirone alone or the use of a placebo. Likewise, the combination of escitalopram-tandospirone was more advantageous than escitalopram alone for improving executive function and verbal fluency in patients with vascular depression.
