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

backgroundPropofol is commonly used and well tolerated for induction of general anesthesia and is also used as a sedative in the intensive care unit. However, in rare cases, the agent may cause a fatal condition known as propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS). CASE REPORT: We present a case of PRIS that could have been fatal in a previously healthy male patient with multiple gunshot wounds.

conclusionBecause patients typically exhibit other potentially fatal comorbidities, PRIS is always a diagnosis of exclusion. The true incidence of PRIS remains unknown, and more objective criteria for its diagnosis need to be established.
