Prolonged extrapyramidal syndrome due to metoclopramide overdose: a rare case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. 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
Metoclopramide is a useful antiemetic drug that is widely used in medical emergencies. This drug can cause extrapyramidal side effects that are worrying. An 18-year-old girl student unintentionally consumed a large dose (60 mg) of metoclopramide, exceeding the recommended therapeutic dose, for the management of nausea and vomiting. Approximately six hours after the ingestion of the medication, she developed neck dystonia and upward deviation of the eyes. Seeing these symptoms and worrying about their child's physical condition, the parents took her to the local medical center in northern Iran. With the diagnosis of the extrapyramidal syndrome and intramuscular administration of biperiden 5 mg ampoule twice at 12-h intervals, unfortunately, the symptoms did not improve and finally he was referred to our hospital. Dystonic reactions caused by metoclopramide can be misdiagnosed and it is necessary to be monitored and treated appropriately to reduce the family's concern about its unpleasant side effects.
