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

The study aims to report that a lower dose of aripiprazole ameliorates restless legs syndrome (RLS) induced by antidepressants. We report 3 cases of RLS associated with antidepressants. We differentiated the symptoms from akathisia due to diurnal variation and focused sensation in the legs and evaluated them using the International Restless Legs Syndrome Severity Rating Scale. In all cases, the symptoms deteriorated under antidepressant treatment. In one case, this may have been due to discontinuation of aripiprazole. According to the presented cases and literature, we concluded that aripiprazole has efficacy for secondary RLS induced by antidepressants.
