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

backgroundTisseel is a widely used fibrin sealant often used in cranial surgery to control bleeding from the cavernous sinus, often with successful results. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present the case of a 10-year-old female patient who developed anaphylaxis during a re-resection of a craniopharyngioma, shortly after the application of Tisseel in the cavernous sinus. This reaction included a strong drop in blood pressure, rise in pulse, increase in oxygen requirements, and diffuse erythema and urticaria soon after after the use of Tisseel. Symptoms normalized after administration of adrenaline, clemastine, and hydrocortisone. A skin prick test later confirmed that the allergic reaction had not been to a single component of Tisseel but to a combination of its components. LESSONS: This case and the accompanied literature can aid in recognizing patients at risk for an anaphylactic reaction against aprotinin. It also serves to remind us that medicine used locally in the surgical field can also cause anaphylaxis. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2517.
