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

Bupropion is one of the most commonly prescribed antidepressant medications by physicians all over the world. Because of its favorable sexual profile, it is used as an alternative to serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Its significance in smoking cessation is also well recognized. However, it is associated with a few side effects, such as dizziness, anxiety, tremors, nausea, and insomnia. We present the case of a 54-year-old chronic smoker who developed acute facial dystonia involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) after being prescribed 300 mg of bupropion. The Naranjo scale was used to assess the probability of bupropion-induced dystonia. Following the diagnosis, the drug was stopped, and the dystonia completely resolved within one week. At her follow-ups, the patient was found to have no recurrence of dystonia.
