Safety of Atypical Antipsychotics in a Child and Adolescent Inpatient Setting: A Naturalistic Study.
Article in Psychiatry and clinical psychopharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: This study's objective was to investigate the adverse effects of atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) on the metabolic, hematological, and endocrinological systems in the inpatient environment for children and adolescents with diverse psychiatric disorders. Methods: A retrospective assessment of 208 children's and adolescents' medical records was conducted. All patients were on AAP monotherapy. At baseline and after treatment, measurements of body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), BMI z-score, fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, complete blood count, liver functions, thyroid functions, and prolactin levels were made. Scores from the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) and the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA) were preserved. Results: The overall patient population had a mean age of 14.50 ± 2.32 years, 139 girls, and 69 boys. Of the patients, 63 (30.29%) were on risperidone (RIS), 69(33.17%) were on aripiprazole (ARI), 32 (15.39%) were on quetiapine (QUE), 42 (20.19%) were on olanzapine (OLA), and 2 (0.96%) were on clozapine (CLO). In the OLA group, the BMI and BMI z-score increased more than in the RIS, QUE, and ARI groups ( Conclusion: According to the findings of our study, children and adolescents appear to be at a significant risk for psychotropic-induced PRL increase, weight gain, metabolic, and hematological consequences. To prevent serious health problems, a meticulous risk-benefit assessment for AAPs treatment should be done between clinicians and patients and their families.
