Anesthetic Considerations in Athletes: A Review.
Review 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
Athletes present a unique challenge for anesthesiologists because of their specific physiology and the demands of their sport. Anesthesia for athletes requires careful consideration of factors such as muscle mass, hydration status, and the potential for drug interactions with performance-enhancing substances. Additionally, the use of specific anesthetic agents, such as inhalational and intravenous anesthetics, requires adjustments to the dosing regimen to ensure adequate anesthesia. Sports anesthesia is a subspecialty that encompasses not only expert knowledge regarding regional and general anesthesia and pain management but also the pathophysiology unique to athletes and psychological concerns associated with professional sports and complete knowledge about World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines as well as substance abuse. Moreover, the pressure of being scrutinized by a broad circle of concerned persons, including family members, team members, coaches, club owners, media, and fans, makes this an area of excellence and expertise. This review highlights how an athlete's physiological changes can alter anesthetic drug effects. Considering the importance of vigilant preoperative assessment, selecting the proper anesthesia plan, and perioperative strategies for better recovery and performance outcomes.
