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

Angiotensin converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are commonly prescribed drugs with multiple indications including congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetic nephropathy. ACE inhibitor induced angioedema is commonly seen across emergency departments and clinics, with transient swelling of lips, tongue, and other facial structures being the common presentation. Isolated airway obstruction as a result of pharyngeal and laryngeal swelling without facial swelling is a rare presentation. We present a case of a patient on lisinopril therapy for one year who experienced severe airway compromise without the classic symptoms of ACE inhibitor induced angioedema. He required emergent cricothyroidotomy to secure his airway, as fiberoptic laryngoscopy showed 90% obstruction and inability to visualize true vocal cords. His ACE inhibitor therapy was discontinued, and he was discharged home within a few days with no residual symptoms.
