The Efficacy of Lacosamide in the Treatment of Delirium Complicated With Ileus: Four Cases.

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
Delirium is a common disease in elderly patients and requires medications, although nondrug interventions are recommended. When delirious patients are complicated with ileus, the selection of drugs would be difficult. In this paper, three cases of antipsychotic-induced paralytic ileus successfully managed with lacosamide are presented without any severe adverse effects, including psychiatric symptoms. Lacosamide is a newer antiepileptic drug that acts on the sodium channels. Drug-induced eruptions are rare compared to other antiepileptics, such as carbamazepine and lamotrigine. Lacosamide can be administered intravenously as well as orally. The mechanisms of ileus have been suggested; to involve antagonism of the cholinergic, histaminergic, and serotonergic systems. Since lacosamide is not related to these antagonists, it may be one of the helpful options for treating delirium tremens in elderly patients.
