Reliability of tachycardia as an early warning sign in acute clozapine-induced cardiac inflammation: Protocol for a systematic review.
Article in PloS one, 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
introductionClozapine-induced cardiac inflammation (CICI) can have serious consequences for people with psychosis and can be fatal if not detected in a timely manner. The best available methods of investigation for CICI are resource-intensive, whereas clinical practice often utilises cheaper and more practical methods of detection such as history, examination, and blood tests. Heart rate monitoring is commonly used as an early-warning sign in detecting potential CICI. Previous studies have found that, although this has a high sensitivity, it has poor specificity. As far as we are aware, no systematic review has investigated the role of tachycardia as a detection tool for CICI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Systematic diagnostic test accuracy review of the available literature will be used to assess the effectiveness of tachycardia as an early-warning sign for CICI. We will search eight electronic databases and grey literature using a comprehensive and systematic approach. Grey literature sources will include conference proceedings and professional guidance documents identified through expert consultations. Retrieved articles will be critically appraised, synthesised, and meta-analysed, where data permit. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This systematic review will use data from existing studies, hence no ethical approvals are required. Findings will be disseminated to academic colleagues through a peer-reviewed publication and relevant academic meetings, and to clinicians through distribution to local and national clinical networks.
