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

Mental health is a major global concern, yet findings remain fragmented across studies and databases, hindering integrative understanding and clinical translation. To address this gap, we present the Mental Disorders Knowledge Graph (MDKG)-a large-scale, contextualized knowledge graph built using large language models to unify evidence from biomedical literature and curated databases. MDKG comprises over 10 million relations, including nearly 1 million novel associations absent from existing resources. By structurally encoding contextual features such as conditionality, demographic factors, and co-occurring clinical attributes, the graph enables more nuanced interpretation and rapid expert validation, reducing evaluation time by up to 70%. Applied to predictive modeling in the UK Biobank, MDKG-enhanced representations yielded significant gains in predictive performance across multiple mental disorders. As a scalable and semantically enriched resource, MDKG offers a powerful foundation for accelerating psychiatric research and enabling interpretable, data-driven clinical insights.
