Factors Associated with the Initiation of Long-Acting Injectable Paliperidone Palmitate Versus Aripiprazole Among Medicaid Patients with Schizophrenia: An Observational Study.
Observational study in Advances in therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionFactors underlying the selection of antipsychotics for patients with schizophrenia are poorly understood. This study investigated variables associated with initiation of treatment with the long-acting injectables paliperidone palmitate (LAI-PP) and aripiprazole LAI (LAI-AP) in Medicaid patients with schizophrenia.
methodsAdults with at least one medical or pharmacy claim for LAI-PP or LAI-AP from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016 were selected from the IBM
resultsOf included patients, 5501 initiated LAI-PP and 1449 initiated LAI-AP. Patients more likely to initiate LAI-PP versus LAI-AP were older, male, or African American (all p < 0.01). Patients with obesity (odds ratio [OR] 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71, 0.98), post-traumatic stress disorder (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.63, 0.92), or prior oral antipsychotic use (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.55, 0.79) were less likely to initiate LAI-PP; whereas, patients with nonorganic psychoses (OR 1.35; 95% CI 1.18, 1.55) or prior use of other injectable antipsychotics (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.09, 1.47) were more likely to initiate LAI-PP versus LAI-AP. Patients with at least two all-cause hospitalizations were 1.37 times more likely to initiate LAI-PP vs LAI-AP (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.18, 1.60).
conclusionFactors associated with initiating LAI-PP and LAI-AP differed. Notably, patients who initiated LAI-PP had greater prior use of medical services than LAI-AP patients. Understanding prescribing practices may help optimize treatment strategies and improve disease management.
