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

Cariprazine is effective in a number of conditions and has shown efficacy in the treatment of negative symptoms. Data on its use as an adjunct to other antipsychotics is growing. To evaluate the effectiveness of add-on cariprazine in patients with predominant negative symptoms, we assessed a series of patients prescribed adjunctive cariprazine using the Schedule for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS). Patients had few positive symptoms, but negative symptoms were considered to have a major effect on functioning. SANS scores were calculated at baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks. We compared median scores using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Ten consecutive patients were evaluated. Median baseline SANS score was 87 (IQR 32), 66 (IQR 23) at week 12 (
