Article in Der Nervenarzt, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundGuidelines for the treatment of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) recommend that if antipsychotics are necessary, these should be used only for a limited time and with the lowest possible dose.
objectiveIn order to raise awareness of the risks of antipsychotic treatment in patients with dementia and the resulting need for time-limited and as low-dose antipsychotic treatment as possible, recommendations for deprescribing of antipsychotics in people with dementia have been developed. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe recommendations were developed in a multistage process: 1. Literature search with special appreciation of agreed guideline recommendations and results of an intervention study (READY study) 2. Discussion and consensus in a panel of experts, 3. Online survey of medical dementia experts working in Germany.
resultsFrom the 51 statements that were initially drafted 32 statements on antipsychotic deprescribing were formulated after the discussion in the multiprofessional expert panel. Of the 32 statements 25 were finally implemented after agreement by the experts in the online survey. DISCUSSION: In Germany, there are so far no specific recommendations for the reduction and discontinuation of antipsychotics used to treat BPSD in people with dementia. The article is intended as recommendations for general practitioners and specialists. The recommendations are not guidelines and do not replace personal responsibility. The individual approach always depends on the individual treatment situation.
