Compartment syndrome of the hand following iatrogenic intra-arterial administration of epinephrine during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 26-year-old woman developed acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of her right hand secondary to reperfusion syndrome. She suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest following a pregabalin overdose. Attending paramedics mistakenly gave intra-arterial epinephrine into her right brachial artery. On resolution of her brachial artery spasm, she developed a reperfusion injury to her right hand and subsequently ACS. A four-incision fasciotomy with carpal tunnel decompression was performed and was successful in reversing focal ischaemia and an irreversible functional deficit. This case demonstrates an unusual case of hand ACS secondary to temporary limb ischaemia and reperfusion syndrome following iatrogenic intra-arterial epinephrine administration. We also summarise the current available literature on ACS of the hand including the aetiology, treatment and use of an intracompartmental monitor.
