The Anesthetic Complexity of Eisenmenger Syndrome: A Clinical Case.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a complex, multisystemic, and rare clinical entity, given that currently, most congenital heart diseases can be corrected in childhood. The high anesthetic risk in these patients poses a challenge for anesthesiology. There are few cases described in the literature of anesthetic approaches using ketamine and dexmedetomidine in ES cases, particularly under Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC). We describe the clinical case of a 40-year-old patient with trisomy 21, intellectual disability, and ES secondary to a single atrioventricular (AV) valve, scheduled for cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under sedation due to a suspected space-occupying lesion. Sedation was performed under MAC with dexmedetomidine and ketamine. The procedure proceeded without complications. The anesthetic approach in ES patients, given the clinical complexity, requires planning by a multidisciplinary team and should be tailored to the procedure and its duration.
