Hiccups in an Adult Case with Schizophrenia due to Aripiprazole: A Case Report.

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
Neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors involved in the pathophysiology of hiccups are not well defined. However, dopamine and serotonin are reported to have roles in activating hiccups, and recent case reports suggest that some psychopharmacologic medications -such as antipsychotics- may trigger hiccups in many cases. Our case describes the activation of hiccups in a young male with schizophrenia while being treated with aripiprazole. The patient was switched from risperidone to aripiprazole due to excessive sedation, hiccups started within 48 hours of initiation of treatment with aripiprazole at a dosage of 15 mg/day, and no change in the hiccups was observed despite a dose reduction. Discontinuation of aripiprazole treatment resulted in complete relief from hiccups. This case report shows that antipsychotics may trigger hiccups.
