Anesthetic management of thoracoscopic procedures in neonates: a retrospective analysis of 45 cases.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAdvances in medical techniques and equipment have enabled the thoracoscopic repair of certain congenital abnormalities in neonates including congenital esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). A retrospective analysis was conducted to examine the anesthetic management of neonates (7 days or younger) undergoing thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital department, and to determine the efficacy of anesthetic management in neonates.
methodsClinical data from 45 neonates who underwent thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital from December 2015 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 25 patients underwent repair of CDH and 20 underwent repair of an EA/TEF.
resultsAll patients received general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, standard ASA monitoring, and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. All patients survived the surgery. A total of 14 patients experienced decreases in SpO
conclusionsThorough preoperative preparation is critical for a desirable outcome in neonates undergoing a thoracoscopic repair of CDH or EA/TEF. In our cohort, intraoperative ventilation strategies included pressure control ventilation with peak airway pressure maintained at 15-25 cmH
