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

backgroundOur aim was to follow up patients prescribed lurasidone over 1 year to determine factors predicting treatment persistence.

methodsWe used noninterventional, observational, prospective follow up of patients consecutively prescribed lurasidone in a large inner-city NHS mental health trust. We also performed retrospective analysis of outcomes from patient case notes.

resultsData were available for 69 patients consecutively prescribed lurasidone, of whom three (4%) were lost to follow up. Out of the 66 patients not lost to follow-up, 21 (32%) remained on lurasidone at 1 year. The main reasons for discontinuation were perceived ineffectiveness (49% of discontinuers) and adverse effects (36% of discontinuers), whilst a further seven refused all treatment. Median treatment time on lurasidone was 154 days (95% confidence interval (CI), 33-275). Patients who were not treatment-resistant had a substantially reduced risk of discontinuation, relative risk (RR) 0.18 [95% CI 0.08, 0.41,

conclusionThe likelihood of treatment continuation with lurasidone can be vastly improved by targeting individuals most likely to benefit and by using optimal doses.
