Haloperidol-related neutropenia.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry. 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
Phenothiazines like antipsychotics have been known to cause neutropenia, but this has been reported very rarely with haloperidol. A 20-year-old male patient admitted to emergency service (emergency room) with shortness of breath, chest pain, and anger. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and prescribed moxifloxacin. After 2 days with antibiotic, he readmitted. Left lung pneumothorax was detected, and thorax computerized tomography was requested. However, he opposed and beated one of the hospital officials. The diagnosis of manic episode due to antibiotic moxifloxacin was considered. The tube thoracostomy had to be done, and antibiotic therapy was stopped. Haloperidol 10 mg/day and biperiden 4 mg/day injections were administered because he continued to resist medical interventions. After haloperidol, his leukocyte count decreased. He responded well to filgrastim (Neupogen) and blood transfusions, so a drug-related cause of neutropenia has been suspected. He was switched from haloperidol to quetiapine 300 mg twice a day. His white blood cell count returned to normal levels.
