Anesthetic Management of a Patient With Central Core Disease Undergoing Thoracoscopic Lung Resection: The Importance of Neuromuscular Monitoring at the Masseter Muscle.

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
Central core disease is a rare muscular disorder in which anesthetic considerations for the prevention of malignant hyperthermia and for avoidance of residual neuromuscular block are required. A 63-year-old woman with central core disease underwent thoracoscopic sublobar lung resection under total IV anesthesia with a prepared anesthetic workstation. The rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block was monitored by using acceleromyography at the left adductor pollicis muscle and the right masseter muscle. The recovery of neuromuscular block at the masseter was slower than that at the adductor pollicis. The patient showed no symptoms of malignant hyperthermia and residual neuromuscular block and had an uneventful postoperative course. In the present case, malignant hyperthermia was successfully prevented with general anesthesia that is free of triggering agents using a prepared anesthetic machine. The authors speculate that the masseter may be an auxiliary site for neuromuscular monitoring to ensure recovery from neuromuscular block in patients with central core disease.
