Sugammadex-Associated Hypotension, Bradycardia, Asystole, and Death.
Article in Case reports in anesthesiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
On December 16, 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States approved sugammadex (Bridion, Merck and Co), a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, to be used as a reversal agent. It is a first and unique selective nondepolarizing steroidal muscle relaxant (NDSMR) binding agent with a great affinity for rocuronium and vecuronium. However, there have been several recently published case reports of bradycardia and asystole immediately after sugammadex administration for the reversal. This report presents a case of sugammadex administration followed by rapidly progressing bradycardia leading to asystole and subsequent death. The family has provided the written consent to share this case report.
