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 a common mental illness that damages the life and health of patients and causes economic burden, and HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis dysfunction is considered to be one of the important factors leading to depression. In this case, it is essential to explore possible treatment methods by using natural compounds with HPA axis regulating and antidepressant effects. However, no one has reviewed it so far. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to systematically sort out the related natural products that play an antidepressant role by regulating the function of the HPA axis. Natural products are divided into flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, saponins, polysaccharides and so on according to their chemical structures, which play a variety of biological activities such as regulating the HPA axis, anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. These effects may provide a useful reference for the potential treatment of depression so as to develop new antidepressants.
