Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Following Blood Transfusion in a Patient With Chronic Anemia: A 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
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by transient constriction and dilation of cerebral arteries, leading to severe headaches and neurological deficits. This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with chronic anemia, acute chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis who developed RCVS following transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). She experienced sudden-onset seizures and a thunderclap headache 5 days post-transfusion. Diagnostic imaging, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealed the characteristic features of vasogenic edema. The patient was treated with blood pressure control and symptomatic relief for pain, resulting in gradual improvement. This case highlights the importance of recognizing RCVS as a potential complication of blood transfusions, particularly in patients with significant comorbidities. Understanding the possible mechanisms, including rapid hemoglobin correction, and the effects of residual plasma and storage lesions in transfused blood, is essential to prevent and manage this rare but serious condition.
