Anaesthesia challenges of a parturient with paramyotonia congenita and terminal filum lipoma presenting for labour and caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia - a case report.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundParamyotonia congenita is a rare autosomal dominant myopathy which presents with periodic weakness due to cold and exercise. It is caused by mutations of the SCN4 gene which encodes the sodium channel in skeletal muscles. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a full term obstetric patient with both paramyotonia congenita and terminal filum lipoma who presents for induction of labour followed by an emergency caesarean section performed under epidural anesthesia. Her recovery is subsequently complicated by a 3-day history of postpartum paraparesis attributed to hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
conclusionWe describe the perioperative anesthesia considerations and challenges in this case with a review of the current literature. This case report highlights the importance of early proactive and collaborative multidisciplinary approach, maintaining normal temperature and electrolytes with a heightened vigilance for muscle-related perioperative complications.
