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

The incidence rate, disability rate, and suicide rate of major depressive disorder (MDD) are increasing year by year, but the mechanism has not yet been clarified. There are multiple hypotheses about the etiology of MDD, among which the cross-talk between the immune system and the nervous system breaks the boundaries between neurologic and psychiatric disorders and provides a breakthrough in the etiologic study of MDD. Combining the immunological "danger theory," inflammation triggered by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) produced by the central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system may be the underlying cause of MDD; however, MDD has not yet been explored in depth from this perspective. This work reviewed the cross-talk of DAMPs between the CNS and the immune system, suggesting that stress-induced CNS inflammation is an important pathogenetic mechanism of MDD, and the cross-talk of DAMPs is a central factor, refining the hypothesis of the etiology of MDD.
