Impact of General Anesthesia on Ciliary Functional Analysis by Digital High-Speed Videomicroscopy in Suspected Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Digital high-speed videomicroscopy (DHSV) is a crucial tool for evaluating ciliary function in children suspected of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). However, until now, samples are taken without anesthesia due to uncertainty about its effect on ciliary function and DHSV interpretation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of general anesthesia on ciliary functional analysis by DHSV in a series of three patients listed for ENT surgeries, which could improve diagnostic procedures for pediatric patients. Patient 1 (7-year-old girl) underwent adenotonsillectomy and tympanostomy placement tube, while patients 2 (17-month-old boy) and 3 (15-month-old girl) underwent adenoidectomy and tympanostomy placement tube. All patients underwent nasal brushing before general anesthesia (control sample). Experimental samples were taken in the contralateral nostril at the time of equilibration of the anesthetic agents (sevoflurane, propofol, sufentanil). Ciliary beat frequency and pattern were measured using digital high-speed videomicroscopy. Our findings highlighted the variability of respiratory ciliary function under general anesthesia among individuals. Our results emphasize the need for caution when interpreting ciliary function data obtained during general anesthesia. Further research with larger cohorts is warranted for validation.
