Paliperidone: the evidence of its therapeutic value in schizophrenia.
Article in Core evidence, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionPaliperidone, the 9-hydroxy metabolite of risperidone, is a second-generation antipsychotic that was recently approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is marketed as an improvement over risperidone, but is likely to be considerably more costly when risperidone is no longer protected by patent.
aimsTo review the evidence for the clinical impact of paliperidone in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia, particularly in contrast to risperidone. EVIDENCE REVIEW: Paliperidone is primarily metabolized and excreted renally, and thus may be of particular utility for patients with hepatic impairment. There is clear evidence that paliperidone is more efficacious than placebo in reducing the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. In patients with schizophrenia, paliperidone has been shown to stabilize acute psychotic symptoms. There is some evidence that it can prevent relapse in stabilized patients. Studies on the cost effectiveness of paliperidone are needed. Most importantly, there are no trials comparing paliperidone directly with other second-generation antipsychotics. PLACE IN THERAPY: Until direct efficacy and cost effectiveness comparisons are made with risperidone, it is difficult to justify paliperidone use over risperidone. It will become even harder to justify when risperidone becomes available as a less expensive generic medication.
