Cardiac arrest in a 36 year-old after trigger point injection with lidocaine: Case report.

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
A typical vasovagal response is characterized by bradycardia and paradoxical vasodilation. It is oftentimes self-limited and spontaneously reversible; however, severe cases can result in significant complications. This report describes a case of profound vasovagal syncope with subsequent cardiac arrest in the setting of receiving a trigger point injection. This patient presented to an outpatient clinic for ultrasound-guided left trapezius, levator scapulae, and rhomboid trigger point injections for relief of myofascial pain. One milliliter of 1% lidocaine was injected into the first trigger point when she stated she felt dizzy before becoming unresponsive without palpable peripheral pulses. The patient regained consciousness following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Considering the frequency of office based pain procedures, it is important to recognize the potential serious complications associated with procedures frequently thought to be benign.
