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

Introduction: Antipsychotic medications are essential in treating psychotic disorders; yet, large-scale studies examining individual patient preferences are lacking. The current study explores variations in patient perspectives on antipsychotic treatment. Methods: Data were derived from the online decision aid Personal Antipsychotic Choice Index in the Netherlands. This freely available 30-item questionnaire assessed preferred treatment effectiveness, side effects, administration routes, and demographics, psychosis history, and antipsychotic use. Non-parametric tests compared responses by sex, age, and D Results: Of 23,733 completed questionnaires, 8,743 individuals with at least one psychotic episode were included (mean age: 38.8 and male: 58.8%). Psychotic symptom efficacy was rated most important (75.4%) followed by cognitive (61.9%) and depressive (49.5%) symptom efficacy (both Discussion: Patient preferences regarding antipsychotic medication vary widely. Incorporating these perspectives through shared decision-making may improve trust and adherence.
