A Rare Case of Hypothermia Due to Quetiapine Use.
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
Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of less than 35°C or 95°F. It is a rare condition with clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic bradycardia to death. While sepsis and endocrine abnormalities are common causes, drug-induced hypothermia is being seen lately. Antipsychotics such as risperidone and olanzapine are reported to cause hypothermia, but very few case reports exist on quetiapine-induced hypothermia. We present the case of an 80-year-old gentleman who was on quetiapine for his behavioral disturbances secondary to dementia. While he had been on the medication for years, with no new dosage adjustments, he was noted to have significant hypothermia, causing a prolonged hospital stay. After a thorough workup ruling out other causes of hypothermia, it was attributed to be a side effect of quetiapine. Hypothermia resolved within a few hours of holding the medication. This case underscores the importance of considering quetiapine-induced hypothermia in the differential diagnosis, as timely intervention may prevent prolonged hospitalization and functional decline.
