Persistent Hyperhidrosis in the Psychiatric Setting: 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
Hyperhidrosis, defined as excessive sweating beyond what is required for thermoregulation, is a recognized adverse effect of numerous medications, including several classes of psychotropic agents acting through different mechanisms. We present the case of a 43-year-old male with a complex psychiatric and medication history who developed persistent, drenching night sweats that continued despite multiple psychotropic medication adjustments and discontinuations. Alternative metabolic, infectious, endocrine, and substance-related causes were considered without identification of a clear etiology. This case highlights the difficulty of attributing hyperhidrosis to a single agent in patients with complex medication histories and emphasizes the importance of balancing symptom management with the continuation of necessary psychiatric treatment.
