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

Aripiprazole is an atypical, antipsychotic drug used for the treatment of schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder in adults. There are a few reports in the literature of ocular side effects of aripiprazole, such as transient myopia, diplopia, and acute angle closure. This report describes the case of a 34-year-old female patient who was referred to the clinic with painless blurred vision in both eyes. She had been diagnosed with major depression and had been using aripiprazole for a month. She experienced blurred vision after the first week of drug therapy. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 4/10 in both eyes using a standard Snellen chart. She had a refractive error of -2.00 diopters and the best corrected visual acuity was 10/10 in both eyes. The ocular examination results were normal other than the refractive error. The patient was diagnosed with aripiprazole-induced, acute transient myopia. The UCVA was 10/10 in both eyes at the 2-week follow-up following termination of the aripiprazole therapy. It is important to be prepared to recognize aripiprazole-induced, acute transient myopia in patients complaining about blurred vision.
