Spinal anesthesia: a safe alternative for high-risk pulmonary patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report details the successful management of a 58-year-old male patient with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sarcoidosis, who required lumbar spine surgery for a cranial-translocated disc sequestration at the L4/5 level. Due to the patient's significant pulmonary risk, spinal anesthesia (SPA) was selected to minimize the potential respiratory complications typically associated with general anesthesia. The procedure was successful, resulting in the complete alleviation of lumbosciatic pain without any notable complications. This case highlights the efficacy and safety of SPA in patients with high pulmonary risk, emphasizing its advantages such as reduced intraoperative blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, and enhanced postoperative recovery.
