1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Clozapine is the only effective treatment for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, but concerns over blood dyscrasia and need for monitoring limit its use. Evidence suggests many hematological abnormalities may result from surveillance bias, with agranulocytosis being the primary adverse effect directly induced by clozapine. This systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42024487199) investigates non-genetic risk factors associated with blood dyscrasia during clozapine treatment, focusing on neutropenia and agranulocytosis. Random-effect meta-analyses were performed on studies reporting quantitative risk data. Due to inconsistent neutropenia definitions, analyses used absolute neutrophil count (ANC) thresholds of <2000/mm
