[Lipid emulsion therapy for local anaesthetic toxicity. (LipidRescue)].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Intoxication due to local anaesthetic drugs poses a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. In particular long-acting local anaesthetics can cause refractory cardiac arrest due to their lipophilic properties. This is often preceded by neurological symptoms such as confusion, vertigo and tonic-clonic seizures. The clinical efficacy of lipid emulsions in resuscitation from local anaesthetic toxicity has been documented in multiple publications. The injection of local anaesthetics should be stopped immediately upon the first presentation of symptoms. Securing the airway is mandatory to avoid hypoxia and concurrent acidosis. A seizure should be controlled with adequate doses of anticonvulsants. In case of cardiac arrest standard protocols for cardiopulmonary resuscitation have to be implemented immediately. The use of lipid emulsion can then be initiated as a supplement to standard resuscitation. It is recommended that lipid emulsions are instantly accessible in all facilities where local anaesthetics are administered.
