Vortioxetine: a review of its use in major depressive disorder.
Review in CNS drugs, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Vortioxetine (Brintellix(®)) is a serotonin (5-HT) transporter inhibitor that also acts on several 5-HT receptors, such as the 5-HT3 and 5-HT1A receptors. It is approved in the US and the EU for the treatment of adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD); this article reviews the pharmacological properties of oral vortioxetine and its clinical efficacy and tolerability in these patients. Vortioxetine is generally efficacious in patients with MDD in acute treatment trials (including elderly patients), in a relapse-prevention trial, and in open-label extension trials. It is associated with improved cognitive function in patients with MDD; this does not occur solely via improvement in depressive symptom severity. It is well tolerated, but is associated with significantly increased sexual dysfunction at the highest dosage; however, vortioxetine was shown to improve previous-treatment-emergent sexual dysfunction in patients with well-treated MDD to a greater degree than escitalopram. Vortioxetine extends the available treatment options for patients with MDD, and further investigation into its comparative efficacy versus other antidepressants will allow for more accurate placement among these treatment options.
