Thoracic Segmental Anesthesia for Major Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery in a Heart Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
We describe the case of a 72-year-old male suffering from Marfan syndrome, who, because of cardiac abnormalities correlated to the syndrome, received an orthotopic heart transplant four years ago. In 2024, he was diagnosed with right colon cancer. The decision to operate was difficult because of the elevated perioperative risk. Focused on the possible cardiologic and respiratory complications, we decided to proceed with neuraxial anesthesia during spontaneous breathing. This emergent anesthesiological strategy for open and laparoscopic abdominal surgery has the potential to abolish many risks related to general anesthesia. Right laparoscopic hemicolectomy was successfully performed, and no medical or surgical complications occurred in the postoperative period.
