Methods for Clinical Monitoring of Neuromuscular Transmission in Anesthesiology - A Review.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 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
The administration of general anesthesia is a crucial aspect of surgery. However, it can pose significant risks to patients, such as respiratory depression and prolonged neuromuscular blockade. To avoid such complications, it is essential to monitor neuromuscular transmission during anesthesia. While clinical tests have been used for decades to evaluate muscle function, they are now known to be unreliable, and relying on them increases the risk of postoperative complications. Thankfully, there are now six methods available for neuromuscular monitoring during anesthesia: mechanomyography, acceleromyography, electromyography, kinemyography, phonomyography, and compressomyography. Each of these methods differs in terms of their approach and methodology, and their importance in clinical practice varies accordingly. Mechanomyography involves measuring the mechanical response of a muscle to nerve stimulation, while acceleromyography measures the acceleration of muscle contraction. Electromyography records the electrical activity of muscles, while kinemyography tracks muscle movement. Phonomyography records the sound waves produced by contracting muscles, and compressomyography involves monitoring the pressure changes in a muscle during contraction. Overall, understanding the differences between these methods and their clinical significance is crucial for anesthesiologists. This review aims to provide an updated understanding of the current methods available for neuromuscular monitoring during anesthesia, so that anesthesiologists can make informed decisions about patient care and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
