Computer-based tree drawing test in adolescents and adults with depression.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Objective: To evaluate the value of the computer-based Tree Drawing Test in the auxiliary diagnosis of depressive disorders and to analyze the differences in the performance of adolescent and adult depression patients in the Tree Drawing Projection Test. Methods: This study was conducted at Guo Yang County People's Hospital in Anhui, China, and involved a total of 184 participants: 43 adults with depression, 82 adolescents with depression, and 59 healthy controls. The Tree Drawing Test and scale assessments were administered to patients with depressive disorders (adult group and adolescent group) and a control group. Computer image recognition and calculation techniques were used to analyze the results statistically. Results: Significant differences were observed between the adult depression group and the control group in terms of crown area, trunk area, total area, and HDRS scores ( Conclusion: The computer-based Tree Drawing Test has certain value in the auxiliary diagnosis of depression. Future research should include larger sample sizes and participants from different regions and cultural backgrounds to further validate the generalizability and cultural adaptability of the Tree Drawing Test for depression assessment.
