Sudden Cardiac Death in Schizophrenia During Hospitalization: An Autopsy-Based Study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that is often comorbid with heart dysfunction and even sudden cardiac death (SCD). Clinical studies of SCD in schizophrenia have been largely reported, while there are limited autopsy studies that directly showed whole-scale information of such events. In this study, we present nine autopsy-based SCD cases in schizophrenia patients who died suddenly during hospitalization. Their medical records before and during hospitalization, and postmortem autopsy findings were summarized. These decedents had an average duration of schizophrenia for 6.83 ± 3.75 years with a male/female ratio of 4:5. They were all on intermittent antipsychotics medication before hospitalization and died within 15 days after hospitalization. Seven of the nine cases (77.8%) died of organic heart diseases such as severe coronary artery atherosclerosis (
