Use of phenothiazines as sedatives in children: what are the risks?
Review in Drug safety, 1999. 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
Phenothiazines have been widely used for their antiemetic, antipsychotic and sedative properties for many years. The introduction of alternative agents for paediatric sedation has led to the re-evaluation of phenothiazines as paediatric sedatives. Newer agents, such as fentanyl and midazolam, have short half-lives and reversal agents are available. Therefore these agents may offer comparable therapeutic efficacy with a better safety profile in young children. Reports of sudden infant death syndrome in children receiving a phenothiazine-containing syrup for symptoms of upper respiratory infection means that the outpatient use of these compounds in very young infants is not recommended.
