Extravasation of Concentrated Potassium Chloride: A Case Report.
Article in Current therapeutic research, clinical and experimental, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe extravasation of potassium chloride will cause serious harm, especially if it is not diagnosed or treated promptly. Objective:to report the clinical course of a patient who was suffering a potassium extravasation and to discuss steps that can be done to decrease the chances of this event from occurring in other patients.
methodsAfter discontinuation of infusion device and withdrawal of intravenous catheter, wet packing with magnesium sulfate and local injection of papaverine and lidocaine were applied.
resultsAfter 11 days, the extravasation injury had recovered.
conclusionsTo avoid a repeat of such an adverse event, proper sites for administering, accurate dilution of potassium chloride solutions, close observation, and increased awareness of trained personnel of extravasation dangers are vital. Once extravasation occurs, timely wet application with magnesium sulfate and local injection of papaverine and lidocaine may have been useful in producing a favorable recovery.
