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

introductionPropofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of propofol infusion. It is clinically characterized by metabolic acidosis, refractory bradycardia, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, hyperlipidemia, and hepatomegaly. Brain lesion was only reported once in a pediatric patient. We present the 1st adult case with colon polyp and cancer who was diagnosed with PRIS. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans reveal prominent bilateral brain lesions, matching with the proposed pathophysiologic mechanism of the syndrome. The patient received prompt acidosis correction and cardiorespiratory support. At last, she died from refractory circulatory failure.

conclusionIt may be necessary to order a prompt neuroimaging examination in patients suspected with PRIS to judge whether brain lesions exist or not.
