Raised Creatine Kinase with Numerous Antipsychotics Responded to Clozapine.
Article in Psychopharmacology bulletin, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is much uncertainty on continuing antipsychotics where a patient has an asymptomatic rise in creatine kinase. This case report describes a patient in his late 20s and early 30s with an established diagnosis of schizophrenia. He experienced multiple asymptomatic rises in creatine kinase (CK) when treated with numerous antipsychotics, which led to them being discontinued. Eventually, successful treatment was undertaken when clozapine was trialled. This led to improved quality of life scores when objectively measured, as well as good tolerance with no physical health sequelae. In conclusion, we recommend that clozapine is considered when other antipsychotic medications lead to elevated CK levels or neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
