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

Background: The potential of aripiprazole to reverse amisulpride-induced hyperprolactinemia has yet to be established. Objectives: To investigate whether adjunctive aripiprazole treatment can reverse amisulpride-induced prolactin (PRL) elevation. Design: This study was a single-arm retrospective cohort study. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records from patients treated with amisulpride at a tertiary specialized psychiatric hospital, between June 1, 2022, and December 31, 2025, who subsequently received adjunctive aripiprazole. Data were collected via the electronic medical record system. A paired Results: The difference between PRL1 and PRL2 was not statistically significant (mean difference = 4.115 ng/ml, 95% CI (-5.121, 13.351) ng/ml, SD = 15.284, Conclusion: In individuals with amisulpride-related hyperprolactinemia, this retrospective study suggests that adjunctive aripiprazole has an insignificant therapeutic effect in reversing PRL elevation. Therefore, until more comprehensive research evidence becomes available, a cautious approach should be taken in clinical practice regarding the use of adjunctive aripiprazole to reverse amisulpride-induced PRL elevation.
