Altered gray matter volume in major depressive disorder patients with psychomotor retardation.
Article in Neuroreport, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPsychomotor retardation (PMR) is a clinically significant but under-investigated neuropsychiatric manifestation of major depressive disorder (MDD). Its neuroanatomical features remain poorly understood. This study aims to examine differences in gray matter volume (GMV) alterations between MDD patients with and without PMR.
methodsThe study enrolled 107 first-episode, treatment-naïve MDD patients (diagnosed per DSM-IV criteria) and 112 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Participants were divided into two clinical subgroups based on the retardation factor score of the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale: an MDD with retardation (MDD-WR) group (score ≥ 8, n = 51) and an MDD without retardation (MDD-WoR) group (score < 8, n = 56). Structural MRI scans were obtained for all participants.
resultsCompared with healthy controls, the MDD-WR group showed significantly smaller GMV in the bilateral posterior cerebellum and left calcarine gyrus. In contrast, the MDD-WoR group demonstrated larger GMV in the left postcentral gyrus (PoCG) and right angular gyrus. Among all of the MDD patients, patients of the MDD-WR group had smaller GMV in the right PoCG, right superior frontal gyrus, and left olfactory bulb compared with the MDD-WoR group.
conclusionOur findings identify distinct neuroanatomical patterns of GMV changes in MDD patients with PMR compared with those without PMR. This provides novel insights into the neural basis of PMR in MDD.
