Initiation of aripiprazole once-monthly via a two‑injection start in adult patients diagnosed with schizophrenia: real-world experiences of healthcare professionals from five European countries.
Article in Annals of general psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg two-injection start (AOM 400-TIS) enables treatment initiation at a single clinic visit, without the need for 14 days of concurrent oral aripiprazole supplementation. Previously, results from a survey outlined the views and experiences of healthcare professionals (HCPs) with the AOM 400-TIS in a real-world setting in Europe. The current work extends these findings to include a broader pool of participants from more European countries.
methodsThis was a non-interventional, cross-sectional survey of HCPs from Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Sweden. Participants were licensed nurses/physicians with experience prescribing and/or administering the AOM 400-TIS to patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Two waves of survey data were pooled and analysed using descriptive methods.
resultsData from 229 HCPs were evaluated. Poor treatment adherence (88.6%), relapse (51.1%), and patient preference (47.6%) were common reasons for using the AOM 400-TIS, while patients not wanting two injections at the same time (52.4%) and concerns about safety (34.1%) and tolerability (33.6%) were common barriers. Among HCPs, 86.0% agreed/strongly agreed they were satisfied with outcomes of patients treated with the AOM 400-TIS, with most agreeing/strongly agreeing that patients appeared satisfied in general (73.4%) and with sustained quality of life and functioning (66.4%).
conclusionsThis survey provides a pan-European account of HCPs' views and experiences with the AOM 400-TIS in adults diagnosed with schizophrenia. Initiatives to overcome barriers to AOM 400-TIS use include providing clearer evidence and education on its efficacy and safety and consideration of how the regimen is presented in patient-provider discussions.
