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

backgroundTransfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and anaphylactic shock are rare but life-threatening transfusion-related complications. Differentiating between these conditions during general anesthesia is difficult because subjective symptoms cannot be assessed and intraoperative diagnostic evaluation is limited. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old woman undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer under general anesthesia developed acute hypoxemia during transfusion. After completion of the transfusion, she developed sudden hypotension, tachycardia, and generalized erythema, which responded promptly to adrenaline administration. Respiratory failure persisted, and frothy sputum appeared in the endotracheal tube. Postoperative chest radiography showed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, while echocardiography revealed preserved cardiac function. Anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II antibodies were detected in the transfused fresh frozen plasma, and serum tryptase levels were elevated postoperatively.

conclusionsThis case demonstrated overlapping clinical features of TRALI and anaphylactic shock during general anesthesia. Although donor anti-HLA antibodies supported the possibility of TRALI, severe anaphylaxis alone could not be completely excluded as an explanation for the pulmonary edema.
