Haloperidol Versus Atypical Antipsychotics for Treating Delirium in Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Delirium is a severe and variable neuropsychiatric illness that causes cognitive and behavioral problems as well as abrupt impairment in consciousness and focus. Due to the complex, dynamic, and multifaceted interactions between several risk factors, the etiology of delirium is unclear. Although its efficacy has not been thoroughly studied, haloperidol, a common antipsychotic medicine, is frequently used to prevent delirium in critically ill patients. When evaluating the atypical antipsychotic response rates for treating delirium, only a few trials have taken age into account. Articles were searched for from PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), and Science Direct, and reviewed systematically. A complete 225 articles were identified after applying the search strategy to these databases. Out of these, 12 were finalized for review. We reviewed the efficacy and safety of haloperidol with atypical antipsychotics for treating delirium in intensive care unit patients.
