[Anticonvulsants in the treatment of anxiety--an alternative treatment option?].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
According to epidemiological studies anxiety disorders are among the most frequent psychiatric disorders. Depending on the diagnosis and severity, both cognitive behaviour therapy and pharmacological approaches are applied. In today's drug therapy antidepressants are the standard first-line treatment for most anxiety disorders, and enzodiazepines for the treatment of acute anxiety states. However, many patients do not respond to the first drug prescribed, prove to have conditions that are resistant to therapy or complain of side effects. There is therefore still a need for new medicamentous treatment strategies. There are numerous studies suggesting that anticonvulsants also have potentially anxiolytic properties and might therefore be an alternative treatment option in anxiety syndromes. This article gives an overview of investigations to date on the effects of various anticonvulsants in panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia.
