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

introductionNegative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema primarily resulting from upper airway obstruction, particularly following laryngospasm during the post-anesthesia recovery period. CASES PRESENTATION: We report five cases of NPPE that occurred during recovery from general anesthesia at our institution. Among these, four cases were attributed to glossoptosis following extubation, while one case resulted from laryngeal mask displacement. All patients exhibited typical clinical features and imaging findings consistent with pulmonary edema, and none experienced poor prognoses.

conclusionsGlossoptosis and improper positioning of the laryngeal mask during the recovery phase of anesthesia pose a risk for inducing NPPE.
