Vasopressor-Induced Digital Ischemia.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In patients who are critically ill and in circulatory shock, substantial dosages of vasopressors including norepinephrine and Neosynephrine are often required to sustain blood pressure. While these medications are necessary and can be lifesaving, they are often associated with several complications related to severe vasoconstrictions. One of these known but underreported side effects is digital ischemia (DI). DI refers to a decrease in digital perfusion. It is a rare and uncommon phenomenon that can lead to significant consequences and unfortunately can result in amputation of the digits. Herein, we report an unfortunate female with septic shock secondary to acute bowel ischemia who developed bilateral digital necrosis while on norepinephrine.
