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

Depression in patients with cognitive impairment may be a risk factor for dementia. A previous study demonstrated that patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), characterized by poor response to adequate antidepressant treatment, exhibit pronounced cognitive impairment. Although depression in midlife or later life are associated with an increased risk of developing dementia, the mechanisms linking cognitive impairment and midlife depression remain poorly understood. A recent study revealed that downregulation of the γ-aminobutyric acid mediated (GABAergic) system and increased phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF4E) are strongly associated with cognitive dysfunction and depressive symptoms. Hence, we hypothesized that the GABAergic system and eIF4E phosphorylation are involved in cognitive dysfunction and depression, particularly forms resistant to treatment, with increased aging. In the present study, we used a mouse model exhibiting antidepressant-resistant symptoms induced by traumatic stress in young- and middle-aged mice. Depression-like behavior was observed after traumatic stress exposure in both young and middle-aged mice. However, cognitive impairment induced by traumatic stress was worse in middle-aged mice. Moreover, the expression of GABA
