1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundVortioxetine is approved for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, the safety of this drug in a large group of populations is still unclear. Thus, we have tried to analyze the risk profile of vortioxetine. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe data related to the risk profile of vortioxetine has been extracted from Pub-Med from January 2014 to May 2019. The adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have been categorized into listed and unlisted categories as per the Summary of product characteristics (SmPC) of the innovator. Further, unlisted ADRs have been analyzed as per Naranjo Scale.

resultsGalactorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, glycolimia, exacerbation of anxiety, weight gain, edema, excessive itching, petechiae, and ecchymoses have been observed with the use of vortioxetine and falls under the unlisted category. Further, the causality assessment results have shown a probable relation between vortioxetine and galactorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, edema, excessive itching, ecchymoses, and petechiae. Weight gain, glycolimia and exacerbation of anxiety have a possible relationship with vortioxetine. The common ADRs observed with the use of vortioxetine are nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, pruritus, including pruritus generalized, abnormal dreams, and dizziness.

conclusionIn conclusion, more data is required to establish a strong relationship between vortioxetine and reported unlisted ADRs.
