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

This study examined the relationship between adolescent depressive disorders and drawing characteristics identified in the Tree-Drawing Test (TDT) and developed a predictive model based on TDT features. Participants included 48 adolescents diagnosed with depressive disorders and 32 healthy controls. All participants completed the TDT and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Group differences in drawing characteristics were analyzed using chi-square tests. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted with depressive disorder status (presence vs. absence) as the dependent variable and selected drawing characteristics as independent variables to identify significant predictors. Significant differences between the depression and control groups were found across 10 drawing characteristics. Logistic regression analyses indicated that tree shading or darkened areas (odds ratio [OR] = 4.155,
