Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The Kounis syndrome is described as the co-occurrence of allergic responses brought on by mast cell activation and acute coronary syndromes. We present a case of Kounis syndrome leading to cardiac arrest following the cephazolin sodium administration during the surgical resection of basal cell carcinoma. An 87-year-old woman was diagnosed with basal cell cancer. She received surgical excision of the tumor while anesthetized with lidocaine hydrochloride and 1% epinephrine. This patient began to itch around five minutes after
