1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundKlinefelter syndrome (KS), usually the 47,XXY karyotype, is the most common sex chromosome anomaly in males. However, many cases remain undiagnosed because the clinical presentation is highly variable and physicians are not sufficiently trained to assess for this condition. To the best of our knowledge, only three detailed reports on anesthesia in patients with KS are currently available. CASE: We report the case of a 74-year-old male with KS who underwent ureterorenoscopy under general anesthesia. Despite the characteristic clinical presentation of KS and its typical sequelae, the course of anesthesia was unremarkable.

conclusionsDespite the unremarkable anesthetic course in our case, anesthetists should be aware of the potential for a difficult airway and cardiovascular and other complications associated with this syndrome. During preoperative examination, attention should be paid to common secondary manifestations of KS to avoid perioperative complications.
