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 driven by dysfunction in discrete neural circuits, but a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular and synaptic mechanisms is needed to guide the development of therapeutics. Here, we decipher the mechanisms of action of the fast-acting antidepressant ketamine to enable the identification of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) antidepressant targets. We find that the behavioral effects of ketamine rely on mu-opioid receptors (MORs), which are enriched in somatostatin-expressing interneurons (Sst
