Neuromuscular blockade monitoring in pediatric patients.
Article in Anesthesia and pain 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 6 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 neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), the cornerstone of pediatric anesthesia, facilitates intubation and muscle relaxation during surgery. However, NMBAs can also lead to serious complications including respiratory depression, residual paralysis, and prolonged recovery. Neuromuscular monitoring (NMM) in pediatric patients is therefore essential, as it is in adults, to ensure adequate paralysis during surgery and prompt recovery from NMBA-induced paralysis. This article aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of NMM in pediatric anesthesia including the various available methods, their advantages and disadvantages, and the importance of a standardized NMM approach.
