Lipid emulsion-induced recovery from unconsciousness caused by lidocaine toxicity: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. 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
Lipid emulsion is used to treat systemic toxicity caused by local anesthetics. In addition, lipid emulsion was reported to be effective in ameliorating cardiovascular depression evoked by non-local anesthetic drug toxicity with high lipid solubility. A 47-year-old woman underwent local anesthetic infiltration with 40 mL of 2% lidocaine (20 and 20 mL) to remove a mass in the upper back. After operation, she experienced convulsions and loss of consciousness due to lidocaine toxicity. Midazolam followed by lipid emulsion was administered to treat central nervous system symptoms including unconsciousness and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale. The patient recovered from unconsciousness and presented improved Glasgow Coma Scale after lipid emulsion administration, and then fully recovered from local anesthetic systemic toxicity. This case suggests that early lipid emulsion treatment, before further progression of local anesthetic systemic toxicity, provides an enhanced recovery from unconsciousness and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale due to lidocaine toxicity.
