Distinct antidepressant therapies act on a common brain network.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 disorder is a global health crisis, due to its high prevalence. Yet clinical treatments are inadequate. Uncovering the neural correlates of depression remission is a vital step toward developing effective therapies. Using a method termed therapeutic network mapping, we performed secondary analyses on the data of 16 longitudinal experiments and found that the network of the amygdala was commonly modulated by three antidepressant therapies (pharmacotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and magnetic seizure therapy). This therapeutic network was i) validated by two independent treatment datasets of patients with depression and a prospective preclinical experiment on male rats, ii) associated with networks of depression-related genes, neurotransmitters, and cognitions, and iii) also the target network of deep brain stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Finally, a longitudinal rTMS experiment indicated that strengthened therapeutic network connectivity is associated with higher depressant alleviation. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that distinct antidepressant therapies act on a common network with potential targets for developing effective therapies.
