Postextubation negative-pressure pulmonary edema after an appendectomy.

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
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a rare, underdiagnosed, and potentially dangerous postoperative complication with the prevalence of 0.05%-0.1%. An 18-year-old healthy and athletic male developed a sensation of a lump in the throat, hemoptysis, wheezing, and acute respiratory failure, after an extubation following general anesthesia for an uncomplicated appendectomy. Computed tomography showed extensive bilateral pulmonary edema. He was managed with supplemental oxygen, albuterol, and diuretic. Supplemental oxygen was weaned off on hospital day 3. The hospital course was complicated by presyncope from orthostatic hypotension secondary to over-diuresis. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and outcome of NPPE are illustrated and discussed in this case report. Furthermore, this case highlights that clinicians should balance the benefit of removing fluid from lungs and the risk of hypovolemia with the cautious use of diuretic.
