Anesthetic management of a pregnant patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundEisenmenger's syndrome (ES) is a rare complication of congenital heart disease that includes pulmonary artery hypertension and reversed or bidirectional shunts. The mortality rate of pregnant women with ES is 30%-70% due to pathophysiological deterioration. Successful perioperative management of a pregnant patient with ES is a challenge for anesthesiologists. CASE SUMMARY: A 38-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to the cardiology department of our hospital at 22 wk of gestation with complaints of chest tightness and shortness of breath for 3 wk. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a bidirectional shunt between the descending aorta and pulmonary artery after interventional closure of the patent ductus arteriosus and severe pulmonary hypertension. ES in pregnancy was our primary suspicion. The patient elected to terminate the pregnancy under adequate preoperative preparation, rigorous intraoperative monitoring, and perfect epidural anesthesia. She was discharged successfully on postoperative day 16.
conclusionOur experience in this case suggests that successful outcomes are possible in pregnant patients with ES for termination of pregnancy under epidural anesthesia and intensive monitoring.
