"It's been a long time since I drank like that": A case report of binge drinking associated with aripiprazole.
Article in The mental health clinician, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aripiprazole has been linked to the development of impulse control problems (ICPs), most commonly gambling. Aripiprazole's effect on serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways has had mixed results on drinking behaviors. A male patient receiving outpatient psychiatric care presented with ongoing symptoms of depression on his current regimen of mirtazapine and gabapentin. Aripiprazole was chosen for augmentation after multiple failed trials of alternative medications. Within 3 weeks the patient discontinued the medication due to escalating binge-drinking behavior. This behavior resolved within 3 days after discontinuing aripiprazole. Individuals who engage in binge drinking demonstrate consistent impulse control deficits that are unrelated to the rewarding effects of alcohol. Aripiprazole may be related to this patient's return to binge drinking from an ICP standpoint rather than driven by alcohol cravings as other psychosocial factors remained stable throughout this time.
