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

backgroundDeprescribing of medication or psychotherapy represents a critical phase in treatment. The aim of the work is to systematically analyze recommendations for deprescribing medication and discontinuation of psychotherapy in the evidence- and consensus-based S3 guidelines of the German Association for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics (DGPPN) to identify potential research gaps.

methodsA systematic analysis of the DGPPN S3 guidelines to investigate and compare information and recommendations on deprescribing.

resultsRegarding deprescribing of medication, our analysis showed that eight of the 20 included S3 guidelines contain information both in the form of recommendations and background information. Regarding psychotherapy, only two guidelines provided information on deprescribing.

conclusionOur results highlight the need to expand guidelines to include evidence-based recommendations for deprescribing medication or discontinuation of psychotherapy. Future research should focus on the development of specific, generic, and evidence-based guidelines that support both medical staff and patients during these critical phases of therapy.
