Suicidality in epilepsy and possible effects of antiepileptic drugs.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Suicide is an important cause of premature death, and people with epilepsy are thought to be at increased risk for suicide. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) continue to be the mainstay of epilepsy treatment, but the benefits of seizure control must be balanced with their psychotropic potential. In recent years, suicidality has been recognized as a complication of several groups of drugs and, most recently, AEDs were implicated in an alert by the US Food and Drug Administration. The risk of suicidal ideation and behavior as side effects of AED treatment is low, and in people with epilepsy, such a risk must be balanced against the risk of not treating the seizures.
