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

In the last decade, long-acting injectable antipsychotics has been widely used in schizophrenia. Aripiprazole long-acting once-monthly (AOM) is the only long-acting dopamine partial agonist antipsychotic approved for schizophrenia; however, a literature search revealed no guidance on safely switching from oral and long-acting injectable antipsychotics to AOM. This study aimed to develop recommendations of AOM use based on existing data and expert consensus. A committee of 30 experts in psychopharmacology from major hospitals across Taiwan was invited. A modified Delphi method was conducted, consisting of two rounds of questionnaires, literature review, three rounds of face-to-face discussion meeting, and two rounds of anonymous voting. The consensus recommendations were developed based on existing data, clinical experiences, and consensus opinions, with 80% agreement among panel members required for final adoption. The panel developed nine consensus statements of switching to AOM for both acute and stable schizophrenia patients receiving oral or long-acting injectable atypical antipsychotics. Recommendations regarding dose adjustment of oral medication and pregnancy/breastfeeding were also included. The nine consensus recommendations provide a guidance on safely switching to AOM. Substantial gaps in knowledge, and more research is necessary.
