Cerebral fat embolism syndrome after long bone fracture: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Cerebral fat embolism is a rare and potentially fatal condition that may occur following a long bone fracture. Its characterized by respiratory, neurological, and mucocutaneous signs. Isolated severe brain syndrome remains exceptional. We report a 21-year-old male patient admitted for the cerebral manifestation of a fat embolism syndrome due to a fracture of long bone after a traffic accident injury. Neurological deterioration after a free interval was seen with generalized tonic-clonic seizures. MRI of the brain was indicated which showed numerous multifocal hyperintensities involving the deep white matter of both hemispheres producing a "starfield" appearance. This pattern of cytotoxic cerebral edema, with lesions in the white matter rather than the grey matter, is indicative of the subacute stage of fat embolism. The patient was treated with comprehensive support in the intensive care unit, he returned to normal neurological function and was discharged after 3 weeks of hospitalization.
