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

Insomnia is becoming a concern in general practice as it affects around 30% of adults. It is a sleep disorder characterized by trouble getting asleep, staying asleep, waking up early, and difficulty falling back to sleep. The most commonly used hypnotics, such as benzodiazepines, Z drugs, etc, are associated with various issues, including psychomotor and cognitive impairment. Dual orexin receptor antagonists are an emerging class of hypnotics used to treat insomnia. Suvorexant is a first-in-class dual orexin receptor antagonist approved by the US FDA in 2014 for the treatment of insomnia. Suvorexant is administered orally, absorbed well, metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzyme, and excreted through feces. Some common adverse effects of suvorexant are headache, somnolence, dizziness, diarrhea, cough, abnormal dreams, and upper respiratory tract infection. The current paper aimed to review the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties of suvorexant.
