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

Depressed mood and anhedonia, the core symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD), are linked to dysfunction in the brain's reward and emotion regulation circuits. To develop a predictive model for treatment remission in MDD based on pre-treatment neurocircuitry and clinical features. A total of 279 untreated MDD patients were analyzed, treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for 8-12 weeks, and assigned to training, internal validation, and external validation datasets. A hierarchical local-global imaging and clinical feature fusion graph neural network model was constructed. The model achieved 76.21% accuracy (AUC = 0.78) in predicting remission. Validation on the internal and external independent datasets yielded similar performance (accuracy = 72.73%, AUC = 0.74; accuracy = 71.43%, AUC = 0.72). Key contributing brain regions included the right globus pallidus, bilateral putamen, left hippocampus, bilateral thalamus, and bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus. These findings highlight the role of specific circuits in guiding antidepressant treatment.
