Acetazolamide induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, an underreported serious adverse event.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2023. 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
Purpose: To report a case of acute noncardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) after administration of acetazolamide post routine cataract surgery. Observations: 30 minutes after administration of oral acetazolamide, the patient experienced abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and diaphoresis. The patient was taken to the emergency room where she was found to have pulmonary edema. After life threatening respiratory failure resulting in prolonged intubation, the patient was eventually discharged from the hospital. Conclusions and importance: NCPE is a rare but severe adverse effect of acetazolamide and should be considered when prescribing such agents.
