Psychotropic Drug Use in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS): A Danish Nationwide Matched Cohort Study of 2404 AML and 1307 MDS Patients.
Article in Clinical epidemiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe diagnosis of a life-threatening disease can lead to depression and anxiety resulting in pharmacological treatment. However, use of psychotropic drugs (antidepressants, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics) in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is undetermined.
methodsPrescription of psychotropic drugs in Danish AML and MDS patients was compared to a cohort matched on age, sex, and country of origin from the Danish background population using national population-based registries.
resultsIn total, 2404 AML patients (median age 69 years) and 1307 MDS patients (median age 75 years) were included and each matched to five comparators from the background population. Two-year cumulative incidences showed that AML (20.6%) and MDS (21.2%) patients had a high risk of redemption of a psychotropic drug prescription compared to the background population (7.0% and 7.9%). High age, low educational level, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score ≥1 was associated with a higher risk in AML and MDS patients. Furthermore, non-curative treatment intent and performance status in AML patients, and high risk MDS were associated with elevated risk of psychotropic drug prescription.
conclusionIn conclusion, diagnoses of AML and MDS were associated with a higher rate of psychotropic drugs prescription compared to the background population.
