Anesthetic Management With Peripheral Nerve Blocks and Sedation for Popliteal Artery Aneurysm Repair in a Patient With Severe Pulmonary Dysfunction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and respiratory failure, pose a significant challenge, particularly in patients with compromised respiratory function. Regional anesthesia is well-known for its numerous advantages, including its effectiveness in mitigating PPCs by circumventing the need for general anesthesia and intubation. A 79-year-old man with no significant medical history other than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with left lower limb swelling, gait disturbance, and cold sensation. Computed tomography revealed a 5 cm left popliteal artery aneurysm, which was diagnosed as the cause of the patient's symptoms. He underwent popliteal artery aneurysm repair using peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) and sedation. Sciatic, femoral, and obturator nerve blocks with 0.25% levobupivacaine provided effective analgesia. Despite intraoperative challenges, such as elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO
