Suicidal Ideation Following a Single Dose of Melatonin in a Patient With Major Depressive Disorder: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Melatonin is a neurohormone that primarily regulates sleep patterns and circadian rhythms by interacting with melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2. Disruptions in circadian rhythms may contribute to mood disorders; for example, individuals with major depressive disorder often have significantly lower melatonin levels compared to healthy individuals. In this report, we present a patient who experienced a depressed mood and nighttime sleep disturbances and was treated with melatonin. In patients with depression, factors such as insomnia or poor psychosocial conditions can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts.
