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
introductionMalignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but deadly condition that may be encountered in the emergency department (ED). This report highlights a case of a patient who initially presented for acute agitation with hypertension and tachycardia and provides explanation for how to manage MH. CASE REPORT: A 44-year-old male presented to the ED with altered mental status, eventually requiring intubation with etomidate and succinylcholine. Despite being afebrile initially, the patient developed a rectal temperature of 105.3° Fahrenheit (F) with significantly elevated arterial carbon dioxide levels after intubation. The treating team initiated cooling measures and dantrolene, leading to a positive outcome.
conclusionClinicians should strive for expeditious recognition of MH and treatment with an updated institutional protocol.
