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

Overprescribing psychotropic medication for people with intellectual disabilities increases the risk of adverse effects and has prompted deprescribing initiatives internationally. However, factors that support optimal psychotropic deprescribing in this population remain unclear. The aim of this study is to develop consensus within the UK about factors supporting optimal psychotropic deprescribing using an online Delphi study. A modified Delphi study with two rounds was distributed via Qualtrics
