Iatrogenic descending thoracic aorta perforation by pedicle screws as a delayed complication of scoliosis correction surgery. The anesthetic management and TEE role.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. 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
A 29-year-old lady was referred to us with a rare complication of scoliosis correction surgery. She had two of the screws migrated and penetrated the descending thoracic aorta. She came to theater to have the screws removed and the aorta repaired endovascularly. The successful intervention needed a multidisciplinary team planning, coordinated work, and communication between the four involved teams: anesthesia, vascular surgery, interventional radiology, and spine surgery. There was a lot of anesthetic challenges that were new to us because of the rarity of that complication. In addition, it was another situation where the trans-esophageal echocardiography was found very useful and affected the decision making by visualizing the screws inside the aorta. The outcome was successful, and the patient was discharged home safely, hence, we would like to share our experience in managing this difficult case to help others who might find themselves in a similar situation.
