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

Second-generation antipsychotics have attracted practitioners' and policy-makers' attention, because of concerns over their health effects and costs. Comparative effectiveness data from the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE)-a high-profile National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study-have been used to argue for restricting coverage for these costly drugs. But concerns about the design of CATIE and its associated cost-effectiveness analysis and uncertainty about the precision of these findings raise questions about this interpretation. Our work suggests that additional research to increase the precision of comparisons of the effectiveness of antipsychotics would be well worth the cost.
