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

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by substantial clinical heterogeneity. Oral microbiota can provide real-time information relevant to the early identification of disease risk and the prediction of therapeutic outcomes. The present study aimed to characterize the specific profiles of oral microbiota in the buccal mucosa of patients with MDD and to explore potential mechanisms linking oral microbiota to the pathophysiology of MDD. Method: A total of 38 patients with MDD and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. All MDD patients received standard antidepressant treatment and were followed up at two time points (2 weeks and 6 weeks). Neuropsychological assessments were administered, and 16S rRNA sequencing was employed to determine the abundance of oral bacteria. Results: (1) Significant differences in the diversity of oral microbiota from the buccal mucosa were observed between the MDD and HC groups. (2) The relative abundances of the oral genera Conclusion: Oral
