Solriamfetol for the Use of Narcolepsy: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Narcolepsy is a chronic and disabling neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy. Historically, some medications have demonstrated efficacy in managing EDS and cataplexy symptoms. However, some patients cannot tolerate them, become refractory, or may use concomitant medications that preclude the use due to drug-drug interaction. Therefore, there is a necessity to explore the efficacy of new treatments, such as solriamfetol (JZP-110), a 2019 FDA-approved drug indicated to improve wakefulness in adults with EDS associated with narcolepsy. We conducted this systematic review to investigate the effectiveness of solriamfetol in EDS and cataplexy, and the drug's overall safety. For this study, we used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and MOOSE protocol. After an initial search of 119 papers, we included four clinical trials to investigate and analyze the use of solriamfetol for the treatment of narcolepsy. Solriamfetol was proven to improve objective measures of EDS in all clinical trials. We conducted this systematic review using objective measures such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test. Overall, cataplexy was not formally evaluated in the four clinical trials; however, it demonstrated that EDS improved in patients with and without cataplexy. More clinical trials are needed to analyze the efficacy of solriamfetol on cataplexy. The effect of solriamfetol in EDS seems to be conclusive.
