Trial report in The international journal of neuropsychopharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07184619 (A Phase III, 12-week, Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Multi-center Study to Determine the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of a Dose of 15 mg Bid of Evenamide as add-on in Patients With Documented Treatment-resistant Schizophrenia, Which is Not Adequately Controlled by a Stable Therapeutic Dose of the Patient's Current Antipsychotic Medication), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

The results from a pilot, 1-year, randomized, open-label, add-on treatment study in treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) with evenamide, a glutamate modulator, were not associated with any safety abnormalities at all doses (7.5-30 mg bid), with a high retention rate even at 6-month (~85%), and 1-year (~75%), and the absence of psychotic relapses during the 1-year treatment period. Overall, treatment with evenamide showed a gradual, sustained, and clinically important improvement up to 1 year in all efficacy measures (eg, PANSS mean change ~ -20%; CGI-S mean change ~ -1.0). In addition, compared to the results at Week 6, the responder rates generally more than doubled at 1-year (PANSS "≥20% improvement from baseline" = ~45%; CGI-S "2-category of improvement" = ~25%; CGI-C "much improved" = ~40%). These results, rarely replicated in other trials in TRS, support the use of evenamide as an add-on treatment in patients who are not benefiting from their current first- or second-generation antipsychotic medication.
