Haloperidol-induced liver injury in pregnancy: A rare case report and review of drug-induced hepatitis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Haloperidol, a first-generation antipsychotic, is occasionally prescribed during pregnancy for the management of schizophrenia, but its hepatic safety profile is not well established, and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains a rare yet potentially serious complication. We report a 38-year-old pregnant woman at 14 weeks of gestation with a 3-year history of schizophrenia on Haloperidol who presented with progressive abdominal discomfort and jaundice. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated a hepatocellular pattern of liver injury with elevated AST and ALT and hyperbilirubinemia, while white blood cell count was normal. Abdominal ultrasound confirmed normal hepatobiliary anatomy without obstruction or focal lesions. Haloperidol was discontinued and replaced with Chlorpromazine, leading to normalization of liver function within 1 month and favorable maternal and fetal outcomes. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of idiosyncratic DILI during pregnancy and underscores the importance of regular liver function monitoring in patients on long-term antipsychotics, as well as careful multidisciplinary management when hepatic adverse effects occur.
