Management of serious cardiac adverse effects of antipsychotic medications.
Article in The mental health clinician, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 antipsychotic medications has now expanded to multiple mental health conditions beyond schizophrenia. This has increased the overall population exposure to these medications, which have been associated with both metabolic changes and adverse cardiovascular effects. QTc prolongation, torsades de pointes, sudden cardiac death, myocarditis, and cardiomyopathy are all very real concerns that clinicians face on a regular basis. One must take these risks into consideration when selecting antipsychotic therapy and also when determining whether therapeutic changes and adjustments are necessary. This review examines a number of cardiac-associated concerns, the role that antipsychotics may play in contributing to these adverse events, and suggested management interventions.
