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

Antipsychotic medications provide the foundation for treatment of acute exacerbations as well as relapse prevention in patients with schizophrenia as demonstrated by rigorous placebo-controlled trials. However, despite their proven effectiveness, poor adherence to prescribed antipsychotic regimens remains the most important driver of suboptimal clinical outcomes in this population. This paper reviews the magnitude of the problem of medication non-adherence in patients with schizophrenia and the various factors that contribute to non-adherence, with particular emphasis on factors related to antipsychotic medications. The profile of the latest atypical antipsychotic, paliperidone extended-release (ER) tablets, is then reviewed and the implications of its unique pharmacokinetic profile for adherence in this patient population are discussed.
