Perioperative Management of Lewis-Sumner Syndrome.
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
Lewis-Sumner syndrome (LSS) is a rare immune-mediated neuromuscular disorder. It shares some clinical and pathological features with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). We report on the anaesthetic management of a patient with LSS. There are several concerns when anaesthetizing patients with demyelinating neuropathies, the main ones being the post-operative worsening of symptoms and respiratory depression related to muscle relaxants. In our experience, the rocuronium effect was prolonged and an even lower dosage (0.4 mg/kg) was sufficient for intubation and maintenance. Sugammadex allowed total reversion of neuromuscular block and no respiratory complications occurred. In conclusion, the combination of lower dose rocuronium and sugammadex was safely used in a patient with LSS.
