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

rationaleThe central core disease (CCD) is a relatively uncommon yet frequently encountered condition characterized by slow or nonprogressive weakness primarily affecting the proximal limbs, predominantly observed during infancy or childhood. Pregnancy combined with CCD is an exceedingly rare occurrence, which needs a multidisciplinary approach for perinatal management. However, there remains considerable debate regarding the optimal timing and methodology for pregnancy termination as well as the utilization of anesthesia or sedatives. PATIENT CONCERNS: We present a case of a patient complicated by CCD, in which we also identified a family carrying a missense mutation of RYR1 (NM_000540) c.13910 C>T (exon 95), p.T4637I (heterozygous). The patient uneventfully delivered a female neonate via cesarean section under continuous epidural anesthesia. DIAGNOSES: The patient, a 27-year-old pregnant woman with complications of CCD and a missense mutation of RYR1, expressed the desire to terminate her pregnancy.

interventionMultiple protocols of anesthesia management were developed based on the patient's specific condition and surgical requirements, which included scheduled surgery under neuraxial anesthesia, as well as preparation of general anesthetic drugs, dantrolene sodium, airway devices, and specialized anesthesia machines for emergencies such as cord prolapse or fetal bradycardia. OUTCOMES: The cesarean section went smoothly with continuous epidural anesthesia at the L3-4 and T12-L1 intervertebral space with the catheter inserted upwards at T12-L1, and downwards at L3-4. The patient and her baby were discharged after 4 days without any complications related to anesthesia. LESSONS: The identification of a CCD family in our case not only contributes to a deeper understanding of anesthesia methods in CCD pregnant women but also enriches the variation database of the RYR1 gene, which is essential for conducting long-term follow-up studies.
