Haloperidol-induced sudden cardiac arrest in a recently detected HIV and hepatitis C patient: A unique case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. 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
We herein described a case of a 45-year-old male recently detected with HIV and Hepatitis C who presented with signs of sepsis, developed delirium, and received haloperidol. Surprisingly, 10 min after intravenous administration, the patient developed Torsades de pointes and required immediate resuscitation. The report discusses the limited instances of cardiac arrest linked to haloperidol use, despite its generally perceived safety. The patient had no apparent risk factors, emphasizing the need for increased caution when administering haloperidol, particularly in critically ill patients with HIV and Hepatitis C.
