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

Narcolepsy with cataplexy (NT1) is a sleep disorder very rarely associated with early-onset psychosis. The incidence of this association is unknown but appears to be more common in children and adolescents. This combination of diagnoses presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This case report discusses an adolescent female with first-episode psychosis who was being treated for NT1 and had no prior psychiatric history. After ruling out other possible medical causes, she was given an initial diagnosis of a brief psychotic episode and treated with Risperidone while continuing treatment for NT1 with Modafinil and Venlafaxine. Following partial response to Risperidone, her psychosis improved with Chlorpromazine, one of the first documented cases of successful use of this medication for first-episode psychosis with NT1.
