Cardiac arrest due to coronary vasospasm after sugammadex administration -a case report.
Article in Korean journal of anesthesiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSugammadex is a widely used medication for the reversal of aminosteroid neuromuscular blockades. Although sugammadex is generally regarded to be safe, concerns about the risk of serious complications have emerged. CASE: A 57-year-old man without a history of coronary disease was scheduled for general anesthesia to undergo cardiac radiofrequency catheter ablation due to symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation and flutter. At the end of the procedure, he was given 400 mg of sugammadex. A little later, the electrocardiogram showed a sudden ST elevation on the inferior leads, followed by cardiac arrest. The urgent coronary angiography demonstrated total collapse of the right coronary artery. After two injections of intra-coronary nitroglycerin, the vasospasm of the right coronary artery was completely resolved. The patient recovered without sequelae and was discharged on postoperative day 5.
conclusionsClinicians should pay close attention to the potential risk of coronary vasospasm, even cardiac arrest, after sugammadex administration.
