Ropivacaine induced systemic toxicity in a patient with phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica.
Article in Indian journal of pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Calculation of the maximum recommended dose of local anesthetic minimizes the risk of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) when administrating multiple blocks for lower limb surgeries. Ropivacaine is the preferred local anesthetic as it is less lipophilic than bupivacaine and thus results in less central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular toxicity. The presence of developmental, congenital, and metabolic disorders mandates an extracautious approach in the administration of large volume of Local anaesthesia (LA) as the vascularity of the limb, levels of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, and sensitivity of the sodium channels may be altered. This case report highlights successful resuscitation of a patient with Phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica after the development of CNS toxicity secondary to the administration of ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided combined lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block. We identified some high risk patient profiles which should be vigilantly monitored to minimize the incidence of LAST.
