A Narrative Review on Toxidromes in the Psychiatric Population: Implications for Overdose Prevention.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Individuals with severe mental illness face a substantially higher risk of suicide compared with the general population, with drug overdose representing one of the most common and potentially lethal methods. This narrative review explores toxidromes frequently encountered in psychiatric populations, such as opioid, anticholinergic, and serotonergic toxicity, highlighting the clinical presentation in intentional overdose. Emphasis is placed on clinical recognition, antidote-based treatment, and systems-level strategies for the prevention of lethal overdose. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for English-language articles using combinations of the following keywords: mental disorders; persons with psychiatric disorders; drug overdose; poisoning; serotonin syndrome; neuroleptic malignant syndrome; anticholinergic agents/poisoning; cholinergic antagonists/poisoning; psychotropic drugs/adverse effects; substance-related disorders; drug-related side effects and adverse reactions; polypharmacy; suicide, attempted; emergency service, hospital. By embedding toxidrome awareness into routine emergency and psychiatric practice, we aim to expedite treatment and improve patient outcomes.
