Regional Technique Provides Complete Surgical Anesthesia for Above-the-Knee Amputation: A Viable Alternative to General Endotracheal Anesthesia in a Time of COVID-19.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
In the initial phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, laboratory test shortages made it impossible to definitively identify patients with active COVID-19 infection or asymptomatic carriers. Without diagnostic certainty, it was imperative to proceed with caution when performing aerosol-generating procedures; this meant that anesthesiologists needed to make conscious decisions to avoid airway manipulation for procedures when it was not completely necessary. This case report describes a regional anesthetic technique that was used as the primary anesthetic for an urgent above-the-knee amputation in a patient with a history of respiratory issue of unknown etiology.
