What about temperature? Haloperidol-induced hypotermia.

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 use of treatment with antipsychotic drugs highlights the difficulty of finding the right balance between the benefit on psychotic symptoms and the risk of the occurrence of adverse reactions. There is a strong genetic and pharmacological evidence supporting the hypothesis that activation of D2 receptors could lead to hypothermia and that the treatment haloperidol is capable of inducing hypothermia apomorfino similarily in laboratory animals. It also seems that, haloperidol is not the only antipsychotic able to determine this type of reaction, as some evidence suggests that other drugs such as reserpine, chlorpromazine would be capable of inducing hypothermia. Finally, while some studies suggest the possible occurrence of haloperidol-induced hypothermia only in laboratory animals, other authors argue that this same reaction can occur in humans as well. In this report, we describe the cases, rarely witnessed in the literature, of three patients in whom the administration of haloperidol caused hypothermia.
