Successful Treatment of Post-pump Chorea With Tiapride in an Adult Cardiac Surgery Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in critical care, 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
Postpump chorea is a rare hyperkinetic movement disorder following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Although initially described in pediatric patients, postpump chorea is increasingly recognized in adults. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who developed severe choreiform movements approximately 2 weeks after cardiac surgery. Extensive diagnostic workup including cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed no alternative etiology. Notably, hypothermia had only been mild during cardiac surgery, and there were no characteristic basal-ganglia MRI abnormalities. Treatment with tiapride, a selective dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist with established antichoreic effects was followed by rapid neurological improvement and complete remission of symptoms. This is one of the first reports of tiapride in adult postpump chorea, supporting its role as a potentially useful symptomatic therapeutic option in this rare complication.
