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

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare condition characterized by episodic subcutaneous or mucosal edema, which may pose significant challenges in the perioperative setting. We report the management of a 79‑year-old male patient undergoing transurethral resection of a bladder tumor under general anesthesia with a supraglottic airway device. Postoperatively, the patient developed acute facial edema requiring prompt recognition and disease‑specific intervention. Rapid resolution was achieved, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. This case underscores the importance of perioperative awareness, early recognition, and careful planning to prevent airway complications in patients with HAE.
