Total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxant for pulmonary wedge resection in a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a case report.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Muscle relaxants may exacerbate the symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Furthermore, ALS patients often experience respiratory muscle weakness. Herein, we report the case of a 63-year-old man with ALS who underwent pulmonary wedge resection using total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxant and single lumen endotracheal tube. After an unremarkable surgical procedure, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit after extubation. The patient did not experience any worsening of ALS symptoms over the one-year follow-up period. Our experience shows that total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxants can be used as an anesthetic method for lung surgery in ALS patients. We report this case along with a brief literature review.
