Successful transition from intravenous to inhalation anesthesia for respiratory management of coronavirus disease pneumonia: A case report.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: In patients with coronavirus disease pneumonia, strong spontaneous breathing increases pulmonary vascular permeability and induces self-inflicted lung injury, prolonging the intensive care unit stay and worsening prognosis. Therefore, spontaneous respiration must be strictly controlled. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old man was admitted for respiratory management of severe coronavirus disease pneumonia. Despite immediate ventilatory management, ventilatory failure and air leak syndrome developed, necessitating venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intravenous sedation, and muscle relaxation. Over time, the patient's inspiratory effort worsened and the requirement for transvenous anesthesia increased. Therefore, management was switched to inhalation anesthesia after discontinuation of all transvenous anesthetics, maintaining morphine-only analgesia. Subsequent management enabled effective control of spontaneous respiration, allowing eventual discontinuation of inhalation anesthesia, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and ventilation. Conclusion: Management of spontaneous respiration in coronavirus disease pneumonia can be complicated by resistance to transvenous anesthesia; however, the use of an inhaled anesthetic may present a valuable alternative.
