Near-fatal asthma in a 12-year-old girl leading to life-threatening tonsillar herniation: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSevere asthma exacerbations can lead to rare and life-threatening complications such as cerebral edema and tonsillar herniation. This case highlights the importance of early recognition, aggressive treatment, and the implementation of standardized pediatric intensive care unit protocols for managing critical asthma complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 12-year-old girl of Middle Eastern descent from Saudi Arabia with a history of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis who developed cerebral edema and resultant tonsillar herniation following a severe asthma exacerbation. Her presentation was marked by respiratory distress unresponsive to initial therapy. Intensive management in the pediatric intensive care unit including mechanical ventilation and neuroprotective measures resulted in full neurological recovery prior to discharge.
conclusionThis case underscores the need for prompt identification and multidisciplinary management of severe asthma complications in pediatric patients to prevent irreversible outcomes.
