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 is a multifactorial, chronic disorder and represents a leading cause of disability, with women exhibiting nearly twice the lifetime prevalence compared to men. Growing evidence indicates that this disparity cannot be explained by hormonal or psychosocial factors, but rather by dynamic interactions between environmental exposures, neuroendocrine signaling, and epigenetic regulation across development. This mini-narrative review aimed to examine how sex-specific exposome components interact with epigenetic mechanisms and synaptic remodeling processes to influence vulnerability to Major Depressive Disorder in women. The reviewed evidence demonstrates that fluctuations in ovarian hormones modulate HPA axis responsivity, neuroinflammatory signaling, and glutamatergic transmission through epigenetic regulation of stress-responsive genes such as
