A case report of seizure during emergence from general anesthesia after lumbar spinal surgery-common cases can develop potentially life-threatening adverse intracranial events.

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
backgroundAdverse intracranial events after spinal surgery were related with intracranial hypotension due to surgical injury of dura mater. CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old woman received posterior lumbar interbody fusion under general anesthesia. Immediately after the patient was transitioned to the supine position and muscular relaxants were reversed, she developed generalized seizure. The seizure was immediately suppressed with propofol. Brain computed tomography was unremarkable. Although she returned to the surgical suite, an evident point of dural laceration was not found. The dura was covered with fibrin glue. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on postoperative day 1. By postoperative day 2, the seizure had resolved. The cause of her seizure was suspected to be SAH due to intracranial hypotension. Seizure was masked by ongoing anesthesia and muscle relaxation.
conclusionsAlthough spinal surgeries are common procedure, we must carefully consider its related potentially life-threatening adverse events.
