Emergency nursing care of a patient with acute appendicitis complicated by esomeprazole-induced anaphylactic shock: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Rationale: Esomeprazole-induced anaphylactic shock followed by cardiac arrest is an extremely rare but life-threatening adverse event, particularly in patients with acute appendicitis. Clinical nursing experience in managing such critical conditions remains limited, and this case report provides valuable insights into emergency and intensive nursing care. Patient concerns: A 53-year-old male patient with acute appendicitis developed facial flushing, urticaria, and loss of consciousness within 5 min after starting esomeprazole infusion, rapidly progressing to ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. Diagnoses: Acute appendicitis complicated by esomeprazole-induced anaphylactic shock and secondary cardiac arrest. Interventions: Key nursing interventions included rapid identification of allergic manifestations, immediate activation of the rapid response team, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, electrical defibrillation, endotracheal intubation, and timely initiation of Veno arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) combined with mechanical ventilation. Nursing care also encompassed development of a safe transport plan under VA-ECMO support, dynamic monitoring of inflammatory markers with anti-infective nursing, precise targeted temperature management using specialized observation charts, close skin monitoring to prevent recurrence of allergic reactions, and multimodal psychological nursing interventions. Outcomes: After 48 days of intensive treatment and meticulous nursing care, the patient's condition stabilized, and he was successfully discharged with good recovery at one-month follow-up. Lessons: Rapid recognition of drug allergy, efficient multidisciplinary collaboration, precise VA-ECMO circuit management, systematic temperature control, and comprehensive psychological support are critical to improving survival and neurological outcomes in patients with esomeprazole-induced anaphylactic shock complicated by cardiac arrest.
