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

This article presents the case of a 67-year-old African American male patient who was referred to a psychiatry clinic by his Internal Medicine Provider with a diagnosis of "schizophrenia, unspecified." The patient reported the onset of auditory and visual hallucinations (AVHs) two years ago, coinciding with his starting Norco (hydrocodone 5 mg/acetaminophen 325 mg) for chronic back pain. He noted that his AVH worsened when he increased his prescribed Norco dosage (within his prescribed recommended range) and observed that the hallucinations ceased when he discontinued the medication. This case highlights the potential for opioid-induced AVH to be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia while emphasizing the importance of careful evaluation of opioid use in psychiatric assessments.
