What does the anesthesiologist need to know about monkeypox?
Review in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2023. 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
purposeMonkeypox (or "mpox" as preferred by the World Health Organization) is an emerging infectious disease with sustained global transmission occurring outside of West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The recent 2022 mpox outbreak has involved widespread atypical presentations. Infected patients requiring surgery can increase the exposure of health care professionals and other patients to the virus. As it is a relatively new infectious disease internationally, there is less familiarity in managing this risk, especially in the surgical and anesthesia setting. This paper aims to provide information about mpox and how to manage suspected or confirmed cases. SOURCE: Various authorities such as the World Health Organization, Infection Prevention and Control Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA), and the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (Singapore) have recommended that public health and hospital systems prepare to recognize, isolate, and care for suspected and confirmed cases appropriately, as well as manage any possible exposure of staff and patients. PRINCIPAL
findingsLocal authorities and hospitals should set up protocols for health care providers (HCPs) to minimize nosocomial transmission and risk to HCPs. Antivirals used in patients with more severe disease may cause renal or hepatic impairment and thus anesthetic drug pharmacology. Anesthesiologists and surgeons should be able to recognize mpox, and work with local infection control and epidemiologic programs to familiarize themselves with relevant infection prevention guidelines.
conclusionEssential measures include clear protocols for transferring and managing surgical patients who are suspected or confirmed to be infected with the virus. Care in use of personal protective equipment and handling contaminated material is necessary to prevent inadvertent exposure. Risk stratification after exposure should be done to determine need for post-exposure prophylaxis for staff.
