Delayed presentation of ACE inhibitor-induced angio-oedema.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We report two probable cases of delayed presentation of ACE inhibitor (ACEi)-induced angio-oedema. The first patient was on ACEi for more than 10 years while the second one was on it for 7 years. Both the patients presented with initial unilateral swelling of the tongue which progressed further to involve the soft tissues of the oropharynx, head and neck leading to a compromised airway needing awake fibreoptic intubation and were managed successfully in the intensive care unit (ICU). C1 esterase inhibitor and mast cell tryptase level was normal for both patients. Both were treated with intravenous antihistamines and corticosteroids in the ICU. Both patients were successfully extubated within 72 h and transferred to a medical ward. Age above 65 years, atopy and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use may have been the predisposing factors. Both patients made a full recovery with no complications and the ACEi was ceased.
