Postoperative diffuse alveolar haemorrhage: insidious negative pressure or sevoflurane induced?
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Negative pressure pulmonary oedema is well described in the literature as an uncommon but recognised complication of general anaesthe sia; negative pressure diffuse alveolar haemorrhage is a rarer consequence. We report a case of massive haemoptysis following elective general anaesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway device and sevoflurane anaesthetic maintenance. The patient had no obvious signs of laryngospasm or other cause of upper airway obstruction perioperatively. We explore the possibility that the haemoptysis was caused by clinically unapparent negative pressure generation, but also ask whether the anaesthetic agent should be considered as a culprit.
