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

purposeExcessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) seriously affects quality of life and may increase the risk of life-threatening situations, such as motor vehicle accidents. Solriamfetol is a novel medication approved for the treatment of EDS and serves as an alternative to traditional stimulants. This retrospective pharmacovigilance study aimed to analyze adverse events (AEs) related to solriamfetol based on real-world data.

methodsData regarding solriamfetol-related adverse events were retrieved from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from Q3 of 2019 to Q1 of 2024. A total of 1550 reports on solriamfetol-related AEs were analyzed using disproportionality analysis to identify AE signals across various organ systems.

resultsA large proportion of AEs were reported among female patients (64.06%), primarily including those with narcolepsy (38.13%) and obstructive sleep apnea (3.68%). The most frequently reported AEs included headache, anxiety, and drug ineffectiveness, with 46.8% of AEs occurring within 7 days of treatment initiation. Furthermore, solriamfetol was significantly associated with psychiatric and nervous system disorders as well as cardiac and general disorders.

conclusionsSolriamfetol-related adverse events were mainly psychiatric, neurological, cardiac, and general disorders, with headache, anxiety, and drug ineffectiveness being the most common. Nearly half of the events occurred within the first week of treatment. Given the limitations of the FAERS database, further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
