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

rationaleWe previously demonstrated that the addition of the selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor reboxetine attenuates olanzapine-induced weight gain. Using the same study sample, we also sought to determine whether reboxetine's weight-attenuating effect was accompanied by a beneficial effect on metabolic and endocrine parameters relevant to antipsychotic-induced weight gain and obesity.

methodBlood samples at baseline and at the end of the 6-week trial were available for 54 participants who participated in previous double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of reboxetine (4 mg BID) addition to olanzapine-treated schizophrenia patients. Fasting glucose, lipid profile, insulin, leptin, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were analyzed.

resultsIn contrast to the olanzapine/placebo group, the olanzapine/reboxetine group exhibited a reduction in blood triglyceride (p < 0.05) and leptin (p < 0.05) levels, and elevation in cortisol (p < 0.05) and DHEA (p < 0.008) levels. No significant between-group differences were detected in the changes in cholesterol, glucose, insulin, TSH, and prolactin.

conclusionsReboxetine addition resulted in meaningful improvement of some metabolic and endocrine measures associated with olanzapine-induced weight gain. The potential role of reboxetine in the prevention of olanzapine-induced weight gain and cardio-metabolic morbidity merits further large-scale, long-term investigation.
