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

Background: Depression is a common mood disorder that can lead to suicide in severe cases. The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of electrical activity in different brain regions in depressive patients with suicidal ideation (DSI), and to provide new insights into the neural mechanisms of suicidal ideation. Methods: 21 DSI, 18 depressive patients without suicidal ideation (DNSI), and 20 demographically matched healthy controls (HC) were included in the study. Differences in EEG power spectral density (PSD), frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA), and functional connectivity (FC) were computationally compared among the three groups to assess the differences in these EEG metrics between the different groups. Results: EEG analysis showed a significant increase in alpha-band PSD and a significant decrease in FAA in DSI compared to DNSI ( Conclusion: This study found significant alterations in the EEG alpha band in DSI compared to DNSI and HC. alpha band alterations may be a potential biomarker of suicide risk in depression. These findings contribute to further understanding of the neural mechanisms of DSI.
