Difficulties in monitoring cardiometabolic risk in the chronic use of atypical antipsychotics for non-traditional indications, in a specialty hospital in Argentina: a qualitative study.
Article in Archivos de cardiologia de Mexico, 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
objectiveTo explore the barriers that hinder the proper monitoring of adverse effects in patients prescribed antipsychotics in a medical specialty hospital in Argentina.
methodA qualitative interpretive study of narrative design with ten semi-structured individual interviews with doctors from various specialties, conducted in outpatient clinics between May and November 2022, with an ad hoc guide based on a bibliography.
resultsBarriers in interpersonal relationships emerged, highlighting the insufficient duration and infrequent consultations, communication problems between professionals and between professionals and their patients, and difficulties in teamwork. The obstacles were related to 1) limited direct communication; 2) communication via electronic medical records (without prior agreement or confirmation of receipt of messages); 3) use of patients as intermediaries for message exchange; 4) disregarding another professional's indications without communicating with them; 5) expressing differing criteria to the patient, delegating responsibility for treatment decisions to the patient; 6) assuming that antipsychotic monitoring is carried out by another professional; 7) hierarchies that hinder communication, and 8) experienced medical referents. These topics relate to inherent healthcare system issues, mainly the lack of available time and communication between colleagues as an unpaid task.
conclusionsCommunication barriers imposed by the healthcare system can result in misunderstandings that lead to suboptimal health outcomes. Sharing this information could guide organizations in developing strategies to improve communication and facilitate teamwork in hospital settings.
