Delayed Sudden Respiratory Arrest After a High-energy Motorcycle Accident.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 50-year-old man driving a motorcycle at 100 kph crashed at a curve on a racing course. On arrival, he had clear consciousness, and his vital signs showed mild hypertension and tachycardia. His chief complaint was general pain. The only physiological finding was a labile injury. Whole-body computed tomography only showed fluid collection at the left maxillary sinus. While waiting on the results of a blood examination in the emergency room (ER), monitoring triggered an alarm due to a reduction in the percutaneous oxygen saturation. When a nurse checked him, he lost consciousness and entered respiratory arrest, showing left conjugated deviation and a palpable radial artery. He underwent indwelling tracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation. On the second hospital day, he regained consciousness and respiration and was therefore extubated. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebellar infarction due to occlusion of a right vertebral artery, probably due to traumatic dissection. He was ultimately discharged on foot. This is a rare case of sudden-onset coma with respiratory arrest in the ER after a traffic accident due to occlusion of the right vertebral artery despite a clear consciousness on arrival. Physicians should closely monitor high-energy traffic accident victims, even when the patient has a clear consciousness and only minor physiological findings.
