Monitored anesthesia care for craniotomy in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundEisenmenger syndrome (ES) is an uncorrected congenital cardiac defect with a left-to-right shunt, leading to pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients with ES are susceptible to hemodynamic alterations during noncardiac surgery with general anesthesia, which increases perioperative morbidity and mortality. Monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is often used during minor procedures in patients with cardiac disease. However, few reports on MAC in patients with ES exist. CASE SUMMARY: A 49-year-old man was admitted for a severe headache lasting 30 d. He had been diagnosed with a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) with bidirectional shunt flow and pulmonary arterial hypertension 10 years ago. A round mass in the right frontal lobe was revealed by Magnetic resonance imaging. Stereotactic aspiration using a neuronavigation system was performed under MAC. The patient was stayed in the hospital for 5 d, and discharged without complications.
conclusionMAC may be effective for craniotomy in patients with ES.
