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

Recent network meta-analyses support the use of pharmacotherapy in patients with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). Compared with placebo, drug treatment can improve symptoms and quality of life, and is more effective in preventing relapse. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are generally considered the first-line agents of choice in GAD, but in some patients, an alternative evidence-based treatment with a different mechanism of action may also be considered (e.g. those with severe GAD, inadequate response, adverse effects and/or contraindications). One example is agomelatine, a melatonin receptor agonist and serotonin 2C (5-HT
