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

There are few trials assessing the risks and benefits of performing a cervical plexus block (CPB) in urgent carotid endarterectomies (CEA). We describe a case of a patient who underwent urgent CEA under CPB and suffered a complication of postoperative epiglottic hematoma. There were clinical findings that helped to distinguish the hematoma from other, more common postoperative complications. The mainstay of treatment was steroids and observation. Epiglottic hematomas after cervical blocks for CEAs are rare but potentially lethal complications. More research is needed investigating complications related to CPBs performed for CEAs.
