The Role of Lurasidone in Early-Onset Schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Case Report.

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.
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 comorbidity of schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been demonstrated to result in more severe symptoms and a worse prognosis for patients, as well as a more challenging treatment process for clinicians. Lurasidone is a second-generation atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. This case report aims to share the use and treatment process of lurasidone in a 28-year-old male patient with a history of OCD and schizophrenia since childhood. The patient has had multiple hospitalizations and suicide attempts and has received ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) treatment on numerous occasions. The patient has been resistant to various drug treatments, including clozapine. Following the administration of lurasidone at a dosage of 80 mg/day and above, the patient exhibited a regression in their psychotic symptoms, depressive and obsessive complaints, and demonstrated a substantial enhancement in social and cognitive functioning. No adverse effects related to lurasidone were reported. These findings suggest that lurasidone may be a safe treatment option for schizophrenia and comorbid disorders. Its receptor profile suggests many advantageous features in terms of both treatment and side effect tolerability, and it provides a significant improvement in functionality.
