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

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) demonstrates significant efficacy in improving depressive symptoms and modulating metabolic profiles. However, the specific metabolite biomarkers and metabolic pathways underlying MBCT's therapeutic effects in adolescent depression remain unclear. This study aims to identify potential metabolite biomarkers and metabolic regulation pathways associated with MBCT improvement of adolescent depression. A global untargeted metabolomics approach was employed to analyze plasma samples from 35 adolescents with depression undergoing MBCT, 35 receiving conventional treatment (CT), and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. MBCT significantly alleviated anxiety and depression symptoms of adolescent patients visualized by SDS, GAD-7, and SCL-90 scores (
