Neurologic Complications of Fat Embolism Syndrome.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewFat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare disorder with potentially devastating neurologic complications. This article reviews the history, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of FES with a focus on its neurologic aspects. RECENT
findingsThe neurologic complications of FES are more commonly recognized with current diagnostic testing and increase awareness of the disorder. FES may present initially with neurologic manifestations. Prompt diagnosis of FES and of its neurologic manifestations could be lifesaving. This includes respiratory support and management of neurological complications. The classic clinical triad of pulmonary insufficiency, neurologic disturbances, and petechial skin rash typically presents 24 to 72 h following an initial insult, most commonly a traumatic long bone fracture. Early onset (< 24 h) and delayed onset (> 72 h) have been described. Neurologic manifestations may include ischemic/hemorrhagic strokes, retinal ischemia, seizures, autonomic dysfunction, and diffuse brain injury. Diagnosis remains clinical. Management consists mainly of supportive care.
