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

Anxiety and panic disorders are common psychiatric illnesses, but real-world data on first-line pharmacotherapy outcomes from Indian tertiary care settings remain limited. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate prescribing patterns, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of first-line pharmacotherapy in 40 newly diagnosed patients with anxiety or panic disorder. Anxiety disorder accounted for 72.5% of cases, and SSRIs alone or combined with benzodiazepines were the most frequently prescribed treatment regimens. Favorable clinical outcomes were observed in 77.5% of patients, while adverse drug reactions were predominantly mild and did not require treatment discontinuation. Thus, SSRI-based first-line pharmacotherapy demonstrated good efficacy and tolerability, supporting guideline-based management of anxiety and panic disorders.
