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

There are only few data available regarding the effects of depressive disorders on road safety due to methodological shortcomings. Patients with acute severe depression or manias are unqualified for driving but after clinical remission driving ability can be attested under psychiatric supervision in most cases. So far there are only few data available about a patient's fitness to drive under psychotropic medication. Regarding the effects of antidepressants on road safety depressed patients obviously benefit from treatment with newer antidepressants; however, at least some subgroups of patients do not reach the performance level of healthy subjects. Approximately 17 % of remission bipolar patients must be regarded as unable to drive and 27 % of patients with schizophrenia on discharge from hospital. Benzodiazepines are clearly associated with increased risk of road traffic accidents. Impaired driving ability of young attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHS) patients is improved under treatment with methylphenidate. Counselling patients with respect to driving ability must be carried out individually taking into account factors of the illness, personality, attitudes and coping strategies as well as different psychopharmacological effects.
