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

Background: Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is clinically heterogeneous, with sleep disturbance often emerging as a prominent but variably expressed symptom dimension. This study aimed to identify latent symptom profiles in drug-naïve adolescents with MDD and examine their associations with recorded trauma/stressor exposure and neuroendocrine markers. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 711 drug-naïve adolescents with MDD. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted using 16 symptom indicators derived from the Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA), and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Multinomial logistic regression examined associations of recorded trauma/stressor exposure and neuroendocrine markers with profile membership. Results: A three-profile solution was retained: low overall symptoms (Profile 1; Conclusion: LPA identified three clinically interpretable symptom profiles in adolescent MDD, including a profile characterized primarily by elevated PSQI-assessed subjective sleep disturbance. Recorded trauma/stressor exposure was associated with the high overall symptom profile, whereas neuroendocrine markers showed limited incremental value. These findings highlight multidimensional symptom profiling and trauma assessment in adolescent depression, while suggesting that neuroendocrine findings should be considered exploratory.
