A Review of Adverse Outcomes Associated with Psychoactive Drug Use in Nursing Home Residents with Dementia.
Review in Drugs & aging, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Treatment guidelines generally recommend careful assessment and non-pharmacological treatment approaches for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. However, the inappropriate use of psychoactive drugs in patients with dementia in nursing homes is still prevalent. The aim of this narrative review is to summarise and criticize the most recent data investigating the adverse outcomes related to psychoactive drug use, specifically antipsychotics, antidepressants and benzodiazepines, in patients with dementia living in nursing homes.
