Retrograde Cerebral Air Embolism Associated With Bronchovenous Fistula.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cerebral air embolism is a rare event and predominantly iatrogenic. Here we present a case of spontaneous intravascular cerebral air embolism caused by lung cancer, which is among the other previously reported cases worldwide. A 69-year-old man with small cell lung carcinoma presented after being found unconscious. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a lung mass eroding into the superior vena cava (SVC) and with communication to the right upper lobe bronchus. As the patient's neurologic status deteriorated further, serial CT scans of the brain noted multiple air emboli with development of left cerebral infarction, and death followed shortly after. This case highlights the rapid progression of this rare condition and thereby the need to be familiar with the clinical setting in which the presence of cerebral air embolism can occur.
