Challenges of anaesthetising a child with Bow Hunter's syndrome and dilated cardiomyopathy for occipitocervical fusion.

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
Paediatric Bow Hunter's syndrome (BHS), or rotational vertebral artery syndrome, is a rare cause of posterior circulation insufficiency in children. It results from mechanical obstruction of the vertebral artery by the transverse process of cervical vertebrae resulting in vertebrobasilar insufficiency during the neck rotation to the sides. Paediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a rare myocardial disease that presents with ventricular dilatation and cardiac dysfunction. This case report describes the successful anaesthetic management of an boy with BHS due to atlantoaxial dislocation and DCM. The child was anaesthetised by keeping the following anaesthetic goals in mind such as maintenance of the heart rate, rhythm, preload, afterload and contractility close to the baseline for both DCM and BHS. Haemodynamic management with optimal fluids, inotrope and a vasopressor and titrating its volume and doses using multimodal haemodynamic monitoring while keeping both cardio and neuroprotective strategies, and the multimodal analgesia techniques helped the child for faster recovery.
