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

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shugan Jieyu Capsules (SGJY) in patients with depressive state after Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 148 patients with depressive state after ACS recruited from five research centers, will be randomly assigned to either the SGJY group or the placebo group at a 1:1 ratio. In addition to standard therapies for ACS, the SGJY group will receive SGJY while the placebo group will receive a matching placebo. All participants will undergo 12 weeks of treatment, followed by 36 weeks of follow-up. Results: The primary outcome is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17). Secondary outcomes include major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) score, depression and anxiety scales, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, inflammatory cytokine levels, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. Safety will be evaluated based on safety indicators and recorded adverse events. Additionally, metabolomic analysis will be conducted on patient serum samples collected before and after treatment to elucidate the potential metabolic pathways of SGJY ameliorates subthreshold depression after ACS. Conclusion: This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGJY in managing depressive state after ACS. Additionally, the potential of SGJY to improve long-term prognosis in patients with depressive state after ACS will be assessed.
