Review in Indian journal of psychological medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07389473 (An Observational Study to Evaluate the Effects of Long-term Use of Psychotropic Medications on Eye Movement Patterns With the Gaize Device), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundOculogyric crisis (OGC) is a form of acute dystonia characterized by sustained dystonic, conjugate, and upward deviation of the eyes. It was initially reported in patients with postencephalitic parkinsonism. But later, other factors such as medications, movement disorders, metabolic disorders, and focal brain lesions were also found to be associated with OGC.

methodsThe literature regarding OGC was searched via PubMed, Google Scholar, and through citations in relevant articles till December 2019, with keywords including OGC, oculogyric eye movements, tonic eye movement, neuroleptics and OGC, antipsychotics and OGC, and all combinations of these. Only original articles (abstract or full text) that were published in the English language were reviewed.

resultsHypodopaminergic state is implicated in the pathogenesis of OGC. Common risk factors are younger age, male sex, severe illness, high neuroleptic dose, parenteral administration of neuroleptics, high potency of neuroleptic drugs, abrupt discontinuation of anticholinergic medication, and family history of dystonia.

conclusionOGC is an acute dystonic reaction leading to tonic upward deviation of eyes. It is associated with various neurometabolic, neurodegenerative, and movement disorders and medications such as antipsychotics, antiemetics, antidepressants, antiepileptics, and antimalarials. OGC can adversely impact the compliance and prognosis of the primary illness. Hence, it needs to be managed at earlier stages with appropriate medication, primarily anticholinergics.
