1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) is an important neurotransmitter in the modulation of the cognitive, behavioral and psychological functions in animals and humans. Among the fourteen subtypes of 5-HT receptor, 5-HT1A receptor has been extensively studied. Tandospirone, an azapirone derivative with strong and selective agonist effect on 5-HT1A receptor, has been used for the treatment of anxiety disorders especially generalized anxiety disorder for decades. Recently, tandospirone showed the efficacy in relieving the syndromes of social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder as well as in potentiating the effect of antidepressants in the treatment of depression in both preclinical and clinical studies. More impressively, the beneficial effect of tandospirone has been revealed on improvement of motor dysfunction of Parkinson's disease and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia either in monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. This review discusses the superiority of tandospirone in the treatment of the disorders and associated mechanisms in central nervous system from the literature.
