Polygenic risk for depression and resting-state functional connectivity of subgenual anterior cingulate cortex in young adults.
Article in Journal of psychiatry & neuroscience : JPN. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundGenetic variants may confer risk for depression by modulating brain structure and function; evidence has underscored the key role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) in depression. We sought to examine how the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the sgACC was associated with polygenic risk for depression in a subclinical population.
methodsFollowing published protocols, we computed seed-based whole-brain sgACC rsFC and calculated polygenic risk scores (PRS) using data from healthy young adults from the Human Connectome Project. We performed whole-brain regression against PRS and severity of depression symptoms in a single model for all participants and by sex, controlling for age, sex, race or ethnicity, alcohol use severity, and household income. We evaluated the results at a corrected threshold.
resultsWe included data for 717 healthy young adults. We found lower rsFC between the sgACC and the default mode network and frontal regions in association with PRS and lower sgACC-cerebellar rsFC in association with depression severity. We also noted differences by sex in the connectivity correlates of PRS and depression severity. In an additional set of analyses, we observed a significant correlation between PRS and somatic complaints, as well as altered sgACC-somatosensory cortical connectivity in association with the severity of somatic complaints. LIMITATIONS: The current findings should be considered specific to subclinical depression and may not generalize to patients with depressive disorders.
conclusionOur findings highlight the pivotal role of distinct sgACC-based networks in the genetic predisposition for depression and the manifestation of depression among young adults with subclinical depression. Distinguishing the risk from severity markers of depression may have implications in developing early and effective treatments for people at risk for depression.
