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

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are commonly used in the management of multiple diseases, including hypertension, arrhythmia, and vasospastic disorder. Nimodipine, a dihydropyridine CCB, has demonstrated utility in preserving hearing following vestibular schwannoma resection surgery. Due to its widespread use, CCB overdose is common. This case report presents a unique case of CCB toxicity in a 56-year-old female with end-stage liver dysfunction. The patient developed vasodilatory shock after receiving a single dose of prophylactic nimodipine following vestibular schwannoma surgery. The primary objective of this report is to highlight the unique risk for CCB toxicity that exists for patients with advanced liver disease who receive nimodipine in the perioperative setting.
