Cardiac arrest caused by intramyometrial injection of vasopressin during a robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Vasopressin is a locally-injected vasoconstrictor used to reduce bleeding during gynaecological surgery. However, even in these cases, vasopressin can induce adverse effects, including bradycardia, myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest. Elevated blood concentrations of vasopressin may induce the sympathoinhibitory reflex by increasing blood pressure and augment the sympathoinhibitory reflex by activating the area postrema. In addition, pneumoperitoneum formation needed for laparoscopy as well as physiological changes caused by steep Trendelenburg positions used during robotic surgeries may cause bradycardia. Shoulder braces used to prevent slipping from a steep Trendelenburg position may also be hazardous. This case report describes a 31-year-old female patient who underwent a scheduled robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy in a steep Trendelenburg position. The patient experienced a cardiac arrest 2 min after the vasopressin injection and was treated accordingly. There were no abnormal findings on the postoperative laboratory studies, chest X-ray and electrocardiogram. The patient also had clear consciousness with no other notable symptoms. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2. The report discusses the potential adverse effects of local vasopressin injection during robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy.
