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

Concomitant prescriptions of psychotropic drugs such as sleeping pills, antidepressants, and anti-anxiety medications are common. The relationship between the number of psychotropic drug prescriptions and the incidence of drug overdose has not been reported. However, efforts have been made to reduce the number of concomitant prescriptions hoping that fewer prescriptions of multiple drugs will lower the incidence of drug overdoses. Furthermore, among sleeping pills, prescriptions of barbiturates have been gradually decreasing due to the risk of severe side effects and addiction. This report features a case of an overdose of pentobarbital tablets that caused the classic medical triad (impaired consciousness, hypotension, and hypothermia) of barbiturate intoxication under the characteristics of borderline personality disorder.
