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

Pubertal maturation is linked to changes in the reward and circadian systems, which may increase vulnerability to psychopathology. Less is known about the associations between reward and circadian systems preceding onset of psychopathology. The current study examined associations between trait reward sensitivity, circadian rhythms, pubertal development, and depressive symptoms. Participants (n = 320) were recruited from the Philadelphia area and included 57.5% Females with an average age of 15.12 (SD: 1.02). Participants completed self-reports and one week of actigraphy. Adolescents with higher reward sensitivity and greater pubertal maturity showed greater circadian rhythm disruption. Circadian disruption in combination with reward sensitivity levels predicted differential changes in depressive symptoms, potentially contributing to the understanding of mental health difficulties in adolescence.
