Prevalence of ECG abnormalities and risk factors for QTc interval prolongation in hospitalized psychiatric patients.
Article in Therapeutic advances in psychopharmacology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundPsychiatric patients are at risk of cardiovascular diseases, and many psychotropic drugs can prolong QTc interval. Requirements for electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring have been set up in our psychiatric university hospital. The objective of this study was to determine the proportion of adult patients who had an ECG during their hospitalization, the prevalence of ECG abnormalities, the evolution of the QTc after admission, and the risk factors for QTc prolongation.
methodsRetrospective analysis of ECGs and clinical data of all patients with a complete hospitalization in 2015. Assessment of the influence of covariates on QTc using linear mixed-effects models.
resultsAt least one ECG (
conclusionsThe prevalence of hospitalized psychiatric patients with an abnormal ECG indicates that ECGs should be performed systematically in this population. Prescription of psychotropic drugs should be done cautiously, particularly in patients with QTc prolongation risk factors.
