Neuroimaging of Propofol Infusion Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A school-age boy with a complex medical history underwent a minor elective surgical procedure. Propofol was used for sedation during the procedure. The patient could not be awakened post-operatively. Laboratory findings demonstrated metabolic lactic acidosis, leukocytosis with bandemia, and transaminitis. Neuroimaging demonstrated findings that were consistent with hypoxic-ischemic or toxic-metabolic brain injury involving the bilateral basal ganglia, hippocampi, and cerebellum. The patient's condition progressively worsened over the course of the following few weeks, and brain death was confirmed by scintigraphy seven weeks later. Prompt neuroimaging in unresponsive patients with suspected propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is of critical importance in detecting neurologic injuries, excluding alternative diagnoses, and determining prognostication.
