Ultrasound-Guided Neuraxial Anaesthesia for Vaginal Hysterectomy in a Patient With Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting about 1% of the population. Females are more frequently affected than males. The aetiology of the disease is uncertain. Immunological, genetic and environmental factors play a role in the manifestations. The condition is characterised by a combination of articular symptoms and multi-organ involvement. These pose a wide array of difficulties in administering anaesthesia for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These patients are prone to have a problem in airway management due to arthritic changes in the cervical spine and temporomandibular joint and in the administration of neuraxial anaesthesia owing to changes occurring in the vertebral column. We present a case of a 45-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis posted for a vaginal hysterectomy. The patient had narrowed intervertebral spaces and was managed successfully by the use of ultrasonography to place an epidural catheter and for the administration of subarachnoid block for the conduct of the procedure.
