Aripiprazole in the treatment of refractory mood disorders: a case series.
Article in Clinical psychopharmacology and neuroscience : the official scientific journal of the Korean College of Neuropsychopharmacology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Major depressive disorder and bipolar disorders are among the commonest neuropsychiatric conditions, affecting persons of both sexes which belong to all age groups. Comorbidity is the rule rather than the exception; anxiety spectrum disorders, somatoform disorders, eating disorders and substance use disorders frequently co-exist with mood disorders. Catatonia is a serious complication of the latter and every patient with a severe affective exacerbation should be assessed for the presence of catatonic signs and symptoms. In a significant minority of patients, symptoms show treatment resistance; many patients experience severe hopelessness and suicidal ideation, causing high rates of morbidity and mortality in afflicted individuals. Pharmacological management is challenging and currently available psychotropic agents often fall short of inducing remission. Second generation antipsychotics have been shown in a number of studies as having an antidepressant and mood stabilizing effect. Aripiprazole is a novel antipsychotic which is being increasingly used in difficult to treat mood disorders patients. Several controlled and uncontrolled studies have shown the efficacy and safety of this medication in subjects of all ages. Here a case series of three patients is presented who suffered from refractory mood disorders but responded to aripiprazole with complete remission of affective symptoms.
