Extensive Soft Tissue Swelling in the Larynx and Hypopharynx of a Young Female Patient After Haloperidol Use: A Case Report on Angioneurotic Edema.

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
Angioneurotic edema is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the rapid swelling of subcutaneous and submucosal tissues of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. It may result in laryngeal edema, thus obstructing the airway, with a potentially fatal outcome if not diagnosed early. An allergic reaction typically causes it, but certain drugs can induce or contribute to the development of angioneurotic edema in rare cases. Haloperidol is one of the most commonly used antipsychotics to treat psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and, in the emergency room, acute delirium and acute psychosis. While it is generally well tolerated, in rare cases, individuals may experience a severe reaction in response to haloperidol administration. Here, we present the case of angioneurotic edema associated with intramuscular haloperidol use in a 29-year-old female patient with a history of bipolar disorder and no previous history of allergy. This case report aims to raise awareness among clinicians about this rare adverse reaction associated with haloperidol use.
