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

Major depressive disorder (MDD) involves multiscale alterations ranging from molecular signaling to large-scale brain network dysfunction. However, how molecular topography constrains system-level connectome reorganization remains inadequately understood, limiting the development of biologically grounded diagnostic markers. We established a biologically grounded framework by integrating molecular organization with systems-level connectome analysis to characterize and classify MDD. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from a discovery cohort of 237 first-episode, medication-naïve MDD patients and 305 healthy controls (HC), as well as an independent multi-site validation cohort comprising 243 MDD patients and 340 HCs, we systematically mapped connectome-wide reconfigurations onto 14 normative neurotransmitter receptor and transporter density distributions. Our findings revealed widespread connectivity alterations (6.38% of edges). These alterations spatially correlated with normative densities of serotonin 1A (5-HT
