A Case of Meige Syndrome in a Pediatric Patient With Schizophrenia.
Article in Clinical 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
Long-term treatment with multiple antipsychotic medications for schizophrenia may increase the risk of developing tardive dystonia, including Meige syndrome. Although clozapine has been suggested as a way of improving dystonia symptoms, there is no established consensus regarding its use in pediatric patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and careful consideration is required. A 12-year-old boy with schizophrenia experienced blepharospasm and oromandibular twitching while undergoing treatment with multiple antipsychotic medications. We stopped giving him the same medications that had been used during his previous hospitalizations (risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, lurasidone, and paliperidone, paliperidone palmitate (a long-acting injectable), asenapine, and blonanserin). We then started giving him clozapine, gradually increasing the dose to 125 mg. Following this treatment intervention, the dystonic symptoms resolved completely, and the psychiatric symptoms stabilized.
