Fat Embolism Due to Avascular Necrosis Leading to Acute Chest Syndrome in Sickle Cell Disease in a Youth: A Lethal Encounter.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rather uncommon presentation in sickle cell disease (SCD), most frequently happening in the context of long bone fractures following trauma. On the other hand, nontraumatic scenarios and nonorthopedic injuries have been documented to cause fat embolisms. This article describes the case of an 18-year-old male patient who had a known case of SCD (SS pattern). The patient complained of hip pain, and it was discovered that he had avascular necrosis of the right femoral head. The patient was started on opioid analgesics and started to respond to treatment; however, on the third day of admission, his condition deteriorated, oxygen saturation dropped, and the patient was shifted to the intensive care unit, where he was diagnosed with FES due to avascular necrosis. The patient's condition further deteriorated; he could not be saved and succumbed to death within one day. Very rarely has SCD with FES been reported in the literature.
