The Prevalence and Factors Associated With Antipsychotic Polypharmacy in a Forensic Psychiatric Sample.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Despite clinical guidelines limiting the use of multiple concomitant antipsychotics to the most exceptional and treatment resistant cases, the prevalence of antipsychotic polypharmacy has been increasing worldwide. There has been minimal research investigating the prevalence of antipsychotic polypharmacy in forensic psychiatric samples and the correlates associated with antipsychotic polypharmacy. This cross-sectional study aimed to establish the prevalence of antipsychotic polypharmacy in a forensic psychiatric inpatient sample and to investigate the demographical, clinical, and forensic factors associated with polypharmacy.
