Positive views on antipsychotic long-acting injections: results of a survey of community patients prescribed antipsychotics.
Article in Therapeutic advances in psychopharmacology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundWe aimed to assess patients' views about antipsychotic long-acting injections (LAIs).
methodsWe interviewed patients prescribed an antipsychotic (oral or LAI) in our community teams. In a subanalysis, responses were analysed for differences between patients currently receiving an LAI and those prescribed only oral medication.
resultsIn total, 226 patients (57%) completed the study questionnaire. The majority agreed that LAIs ensured delivery of the right amount of medication and protection against hospital admissions (57% and 60%, respectively). A minority of participants were more concerned than not about the use of a needle (46%), pain from injection (48%) and the need to travel to receive the injection (34%). A majority expressed a preference for injection site (deltoid or gluteal) (65%) and clinic location (69%). A higher proportion of patients currently receiving an LAI compared with those prescribed oral medication thought an LAI was beneficial because this formulation obviated the need to: swallow tablets (63%
conclusionsIn our study, a greater proportion of patients prescribed an LAI regarded LAIs as beneficial compared with those on oral medication.
