1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Angioedema is a non-pitting edema that involves the subcutaneous and submucosal layers of the face, lips, neck, oral cavity, larynx, and gut. It may become life-threatening when it involves tissues of the larynx. Angioedema can be triggered by exposure to drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), opioid drugs, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Tramadol is an opioid analgesic medication that may also induce angioedema, but the incidence of tramadol-induced angioedema is very rare in literature to date. It has been postulated that tramadol may cause fatal angioedema in the presence of underlying diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or concomitant drugs such as NSAIDs. We describe the case of a patient with SLE who experienced fatal angioedema following tramadol intake.
