Severe side effects caused by parenteral nutrition therapy with fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) injection: 2 case reports.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Nutritional support containing fat emulsion, amino acids, and glucose is widely applied to improve the metabolic status of tumor patients, however, the related adverse reactions have been rarely reported. Here, we reported two patients with tumor who received parenteral nutrition (PN) with injections of fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) experienced severe side effects, and subsequently provide guidance information for the clinical administration of fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) injection. Case Description: The first case was a 69-year-old female, diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma T2N1MX IIIB by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This patient received 1,000 mL fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) intravenous injection once a day. After receiving PN solution, she suddenly experienced chills and aversion to cold, auscultation detected the presence of rough respiration in both lungs, with some dry rales. The blood pressure was 175/100 mmHg. The second case was a 69-year-old male, diagnosed with lung cancer (differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the lower lobe of the right lung, stage T4NxM1 IV), and secondary hepatic malignant tumor. He received 1,000 mL fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) injection once a day. Then he presented the aggravation of chest pain and breath obstruction, chills, cyanosis, and wheezing. Breath sounds were rough in both lungs, with a small amount of wheezing. In both cases, their symptoms were relieved after immediately stopping the injection, and they did not experience similar side effects when they received the injection again a few days later. We considered that these patients had experienced a serious adverse reaction caused by fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) injection after excluding the issues of fat overload syndrome, infusion speed, and quality of the medicine. Conclusions: Fat emulsion (10%)/amino acids (15)/glucose (20%) injection is suitable for patients with gastrointestinal insufficiency requiring PN support to improve their metabolic status, especially for those with advanced tumors. However, physicians should carefully inquire about the patient's allergy history, and formulate an individualized PN administration plan. Appropriate management of infusion speed and formula is necessary to ensure the safety of medicine application.
