Psychotropic-associated delusional pseudo-gender dysphoria: a case report.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundGender dysphoric delusions are reported in about 20-25% of patients with schizophrenia. There have been no previous cases of psychotropics contributing to the occurrence of gender dysphoric delusions or cases where two different types of gender dysphoric delusions occur in the same patient at different times. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on a 30-year-old female with bipolar disorder who after being maintained on sodium valproate and once-monthly paliperidone, experienced side effects in the form of hirsutism (facial hair) and amenorrhea. After discontinuing them, she started reporting that her lower half was female and her upper half was male, then began to identify as "a man trapped in a woman's body" and expressed a desire to undergo gender affirming surgery. Treatment with a clozapine resulted in her identifying once again as 100% female.
conclusionsThis is the first case to report on the contribution of psychotropics in the development of gender dysphoric delusions and is also the first to report on two different types of gender dysphoric delusions occurring in the same patient at different times, with initial delusions of simultaneously belonging to both genders and then delusions of belonging to the opposite gender only.
