An Unusual Presentation of Cholesterol Embolization Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cholesterol embolization syndrome (CES) is a rare presentation of systemic atherosclerosis, which commonly presents in patients with risk factors of coronary artery disease and usually occurs after cardiac or vascular procedures. Laboratory tests are nonspecific, and imaging studies may visualize the plaque. Management includes supportive care directed to relieve the end-organ damage. The prognosis of CES is poor, with high mortality of up to 29% if the CES resulted in atheroembolic renal disease (AERD). In our report, we present a 90-year-old Caucasian female who was diagnosed with CES and complicated with AERD. The patient did not undergo any cardiac or vascular procedures. This case highlights the importance of considering CES and AERD as a potential cause of renal failure, especially in high-risk patients, even if the patients did not have any history of cardiac or vascular intervention.
