[Neuroleptic malignant syndrome].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundNeuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but severe undesired complication of psychopharmacological treatment. The mortality has shown a significant decrease since its first description. Knowledge of NMS is important for every clinician because of the need for rapid diagnosis and treatment.
objectiveThis article presents a review and critical appraisal of the current study situation for NMS. Recommendations for diagnostics, differential diagnostics and treatment are presented particularly from a clinical perspective. MATERIAL AND
methodsA literature review with the keywords "neuroleptic malignant syndrome", "Malignes neuroleptisches Syndrom" and various psychotropic drugs was performed in PubMed. The database of the Working Group for Pharmaceutical Treatment of Psychiatric Diseases (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Arzneimitteltherapie bei psychiatrischen Erkrankungen, AGATE) was analyzed with respect to registered cases of the undesired side effect NMS.
resultsIn contrast to the first description, which also led to the name, there are now case reports of clinical conditions similar to NMS, which were obviously triggered by several groups of psychotropic drugs not just antipsychotic agents (German: Neuroleptika). Treatment recommendations exist whereby the effectiveness cannot always be scientifically substantiated; however, it is still undisputed that a rapid initiation of treatment is of great importance. DISCUSSION: The psychiatrist must be familiar with the symptoms of NMS, its differential diagnosis and the therapeutic options for a rapid and effective treatment. Further studies are urgently needed for scientific substantiation of the pathophysiology of NMS and to develop evidence-based guidelines for treatment.
