Selected Medicines That Can Cause Cardiac Arrest with Asystole.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
One of the most serious consequences of cardiac arrest is asystole. It can occur in patients suffering from cardio-vascular diseases or during surgery following the use of certain drugs. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between such use and the occurrence of cardiac arrest or asystole based on a review of literature identified in Science Direct, Web of Science and PubMed. Our findings confirm that a relationship exists between the use of certain drugs and the occurrence of asystole. Most drugs which induce asystole are used in cardiovascular disease, particularly beta-blockers, calcium L-channel blockers and potassium channel blockers. Medicine which can lead to asystole are drugs used, among others, for sedation during surgeries and intended for anesthesia; however, the relationship with asystole is not as clear as for the cardio-vascular drugs. Most patients who experience asystole during surgery after administration of the same drugs had other very serious health problems. Our findings are intended to support medical professionals in anticipating the possibility of asystole after drug administration.
