Epigenetic Alterations Impact on Antipsychotic Treatment in Elderly Patients.
Article in Current treatment options in psychiatry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of the reviewAntipsychotics are commonly prescribed for the treatment of psychosis as well as behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in elderly patients. However, elderly patients often experience decreased antipsychotic efficacy and increased side effects, though the mechanisms underlying these changes with age are not clear. RECENT
findingsAlthough aging can affect drug metabolism and clearance through changes in renal and hepatic function, additional pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes due to aging-induced epigenetic alterations also impact processes important for antipsychotic function. Epigenetic mechanisms account for some of the altered efficacy and increased side effects seen in elderly patients. SUMMARY: Both clinical and animal studies from our group and others have demonstrated a plausible epigenetic mechanism involving histone modifications that can adversely affect the efficacy of antipsychotics and increase their side effects in elderly patients. Hopefully, further investigation of this mechanism will benefit elderly patients who need treatment for psychosis and BPSD.
