Fractures in the framework: limitations of classification systems in psychiatry .
Review in Dialogues in clinical neuroscience, 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
This article examines the limitations of existing classification systems from the historical, cultural, political, and legal perspectives. It covers the evolution of classification systems with particular emphasis on the DSM and ICD systems. While pointing out the inherent Western bias in these systems, it highlights the potential of misuse of these systems to subserve other agendas. It raises concerns about the reliability, validity, comorbidity, and heterogeneity within diagnostic categories of contemporary classification systems. Finally, it postulates future directions in alternative methods of diagnosis and classification factoring in advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, genetic testing, and brain imaging. In conclusion, it emphasizes the need to go beyond the limitations inherent in classifications systems to provide more relevant diagnoses and effective treatments. .
