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

Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome potentially fatal and has been associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) treatment in a few case reports. Herein, we purpose to establish the correlation between SSRIs use and rhabdomyolysis using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. We conducted an analysis on reports that were submitted to the FAERS database during the period between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2022. Four algorithms, including reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and empirical Bayes geometric mean (EBGM), were employed to quantify the signals of rhabdomyolysis associated with SSRIs. In total, 16,011,277 non-duplicated reports were obtained and analyzed. Among 33,574 reports related to rhabdomyolysis, SSRIs were classified as primary suspected drug in 889 cases. Disproportionality analysis identified a positive signal between rhabdomyolysis and SSRIs (ROR: 2.86, 95% CI 2.67-3.05; PRR: 2.84, χ
