A Curious Case of Galactorrhea in the Context of Gastroenteritis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Metoclopramide is a prokinetic and antiemetic agent widely used in primary care. Its mechanism of action explains both its therapeutic effects, as well as certain adverse reactions, including hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea. Metoclopramide-induced galactorrhea may prompt concern and lead to unnecessary diagnostic testing. This case report is about a healthy 21-year-old woman taking a combined oral contraceptive who was prescribed metoclopramide for gastroenteritis with vomiting. Forty-eight hours after starting treatment, she developed spontaneous, bilateral, multiductal, painless galactorrhea without menstrual changes, headaches, neurological symptoms, or signs of pregnancy. Physical examination confirmed bilateral milk secretion without inflammatory signs or palpable masses, and the neurological exam was normal. Given the clear temporal relationship and absence of alternative causes, metoclopramide was discontinued. At follow-up, complete resolution of symptoms occurred, supporting the diagnosis of drug-induced galactorrhea. This case underscores an adverse reaction associated with a commonly used medication in Family Medicine. Clinicians should remain vigilant for the early identification of potential adverse drug reactions and avoid unnecessary diagnostic testing while maintaining a person-centered approach in routine Family Medicine practice.
