Antipsychotic-Induced Ogilvie Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gastrointestinal hypomotility (GIH) represents a significant yet underrecognized adverse effect of antipsychotic medications that can lead to severe complications. We present the case of a 37-year-old male with schizophrenia on first- and second-generation antipsychotics who presented to the emergency department with acute diffuse abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed a distended, silent, and diffusely tender abdomen along with compromised ventilatory mechanics and signs of peripheral hypoperfusion. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated elevated inflammatory markers, acute kidney injury, and hyperlactatemia. Abdominal computed tomography revealed significant small and large bowel distention without mechanical obstruction and a collapsed inferior vena cava. Despite initial treatment with laxatives, the patient's clinical condition rapidly deteriorated into a peri-arrest state requiring emergency department admission. Under the working diagnosis of obstructive shock secondary to abdominal compartment syndrome, the patient underwent emergent decompressive laparotomy with immediate hemodynamic and respiratory improvement. Intraoperative findings revealed markedly distended small and large bowels with evidence of colonic unviability, necessitating total colectomy. Following a comprehensive evaluation, antipsychotic-induced GIH was determined to be the most probable underlying pathophysiological mechanism. This case illustrates a severe manifestation of antipsychotic-induced GIH and emphasizes the critical importance of prevention strategies and early recognition of this potentially life-threatening condition.
