Exploring depression treatment response by using polygenic risk scoring across diverse populations.
Article in American journal of human genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD), usually defined as limited or no response to at least two antidepressants, occurs in approximately one-third of individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). Studies of individuals of European ancestry highlight a genetic overlap between TRD and MDD. We analyzed two large and diverse biobanks, the UCLA ATLAS Community Health Study (ATLAS) and the All of Us Research Program (AoU), to test for associations between a polygenic score for major depression (MDD-PGS) and TRD. Compared to treatment responders, TRD individuals have higher MDD-PGS across all ancestries. MDD-PGS was significantly associated with response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in individuals of European and Hispanic/Latin American genetic ancestries in both biobanks. In AoU, a decreased MDD-PGS was observed in response to tricyclics or serotonin modulators in individuals of European American ancestry and in response to serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors in individuals of African American ancestry. ATLAS found that MDD-PGS showed lower odds of responding to atypical agents than did TRD in MDD-affected individuals belonging to the Hispanic/Latin American group, MDD-PGS was associated with atypical agents. Overall, by leveraging larger sample sizes from two diverse biobanks, we provide new insights into antidepressant response and treatment specificity for MDD in individuals of diverse genetic ancestries.
