Successful intervention to mitigate an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-induced rhinorrhea prescribing cascade: a case report.
Article in Journal of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
WHAT IS KNOWN AND
objectiveA prescribing cascade if often treated by discontinuing both medications. We describe an intervention to mitigate a prescribing cascade while continuing a clinically necessary medication without negatively impacting the patient. CASE SUMMARY: A 77-year-old women experienced probable acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-induced rhinorrhea and subsequently self-medicated with diphenhydramine which lead to worsening cognitive function. We reduced the dose of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and discontinued the diphenhydramine. The symptoms of rhinorrhea were subsequently reduced without negatively impacting cognition. WHAT IS NEW AND
conclusionThis was the first published prescribing cascade intervention that did not require discontinuation of both medications, which may be emulated in future prescribing cascade cases.
