Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring in a Tertiary Care Psychiatry Setting: A Comparative Study between Inpatients and Outpatients.
Article in Indian journal of psychological medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPsychotropic medications are the mainstay of treatment in psychiatric disorders and are associated with ADRs which affect the compliance and treatment course. Previous studies have looked at the frequency, profile of ADRs and their management aspects. However, the systematic comparison between IP and OP was lacking even though there is a prescription pattern difference. Hence this study was aimed to compare the proportion, pattern, severity and resolution of ADRs once detected.
methodsThis is a hospital based, prospective follow up study done in the psychiatry ward and outpatient setting for a period of 6 months. A total of 491 patients (200 IP, 291 OP) who received psychotropics were monitored in the study. UKU side effect rating scale was used to detect ADRs, WHO - UMC scale for causality, Modified Hartwig and Siegel Scale to assess severity of ADR and CDSCO suspected ADR form for reporting it.
resultsOut of 491 patients who were recruited for the study, 83 patients developed ADRs (34 IP, 49 OP,
conclusionThe study results emphasises the need for active pharmacovigilance so that ADRs are detected and managed at the earliest, hence reducing the morbidity and improving compliance. There is also need for systematic long term, multicentric study to further examine and correlatethe observations of our study.
