1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hypothermia, a potentially fatal condition, can result from various internal causes, including certain medications. Antipsychotics, in particular, are associated with hypothermia, typically emerging 7-10 days after dosage adjustments. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old male with a history of cerebral palsy, bipolar disorder, and paranoid schizophrenia who was admitted due to poor oral intake and was found to have persistent hypothermia despite active external rewarming. After substituting risperidone with aripiprazole, his temperature normalized, and he experienced no further hypothermic episodes.  Antipsychotic-induced hypothermia should be considered in patients on these medications who present with non-specific symptoms. Regular monitoring of temperature and vital signs is crucial for early detection and management.
