Pharmacovigilance and toxicological studies on safety signals associated with the combined use of propofol and midazolam.

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
backgroundPropofol and midazolam are widely used in sedation and general anesthesia, but there has been a lack of systematic research on safety signals caused by the combination medication.
methodsWe collected data on drug safety signals related to propofol and midazolam from the FAERS database (2004Q1-2025Q1). Disproportionality analysis, Time-to-event, and Weibull distribution are performed for signal monitoring and risk assessment. We further analyze the potential mechanism of allergic reactions caused by the combination medication.
resultsA strong signal for Propofol Infusion Syndrome (PRIS) was detected with propofol alone (ROR: 4514.44, 95% CI: 3851.09–5292.06), whereas no risk reduction was observed with combination medication (ROR: 2219.2, 95% CI: 1753.85–2808.03). Anaphylactic Shock (ROR: 39.45, 95% CI: 30.49–51.04) had high signal values. Time-to-event onset analysis in the combination therapy group showed that the most common onset time for safety signals was 3–7 days (46.3%). The Scale Parameter α was the smallest in the combination medication group (6.37, 95% CI: 5.48–7.26). Further research is needed to determine whether the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway represents a potential mechanism underlying anaphylactic reactions induced by the combination medication.
conclusionsEarly monitoring should be performed when propofol and midazolam are used in combination. At the same time, the occurrence of anaphylactic reactions should be taken seriously when combining medications.
