Early-onset late-life depression: Association with body mass index, obesity, and treatment response.
Article in Comprehensive psychoneuroendocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Early-onset (EOD) and late-onset (LOD) late-life depression might differ in etiology, clinical features, and treatment response. While EOD is more frequently associated with a family history of affective disorders and personality aspects, LOD is thought to be more strongly driven by acquired cerebrovascular risk factors associated with vascular pathology, executive dysfunction, and poor treatment response. However, in a systematic review, EOD and LOD only differed in the frequency of affective disorders in the family history. We compared EOD versus LOD using medical records. In this retrospective chart review, elderly depressed patients (N = 108; mean age: 69.0 ± 7.2 years) were characterized by sociodemographic, psychiatric, and somatic variables and divided according to age-at-onset (cut-off: 60 years): EOD (N = 67, mean age-at-onset: 40.2 ± 13.6 years) and LOD (N = 41, 67.5 ± 6.3 years). A family history of affective disorders was more common in EOD than LOD patients (49.2% vs. 19.5%). EOD patients had a higher body mass index (mean: 27.0 kg/m
