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

backgroundMyopia has been reported as a rare adverse effect of aripiprazole, a third-generation antidopaminergic medication used for the treatment of different neuropsychiatric conditions, including psychotic disorders, affective disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. CASE DESCRIPTION: We document the rare case of a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental tic disorder (Tourette syndrome) who developed bilateral myopia while taking aripiprazole 15 mg daily as a first-line anti-tic agent. Her myopia completely regressed following a decrease in the dose of aripiprazole from 15 mg to 10 mg daily. DISCUSSION: To date, a total of 11 cases presenting with aripiprazole-induced reversible myopia (9 females, age range 19-34 years) have been reported. In addition to broadening the spectrum of the treated conditions, our case report raises the possibility of dose-dependent mechanisms underlying the development of myopia, at least in selected cases.
