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

Depressive disorder is a highly disabling condition that affects more than 300 million individuals worldwide, with women affected at a higher rate than men. With the aging of the population, the incidence of perimenopausal depression has risen markedly, seriously jeopardizing women's physical and mental health. Symptoms of perimenopausal depression include feelings of depression, stress, anxiety and endocrine dysfunctions, particularly hypogonadism and senescence. During perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate erratically, adding to the risk of developing depression associated with perimenopause. As a result of these hormonal changes, proinflammatory mediators are produced and oxidative stress is induced, which finally leads to progressive neuronal damage. The present study mainly reviewed roles of neuroinflammation in perimenopausal depression and explained potential anti‑inflammatory and anti‑oxidative stress mechanisms for clinically effective therapeutic treatment.
