The Revolutionary Role of Ultrasound in Anaesthetic Management of Apert Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases.
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
Apert syndrome, a rare congenital disorder characterized by craniosynostosis, syndactyly, and multi-system abnormalities, presents significant challenges in perioperative management. This report delineates the cases of two paediatric patients undergoing orthopaedics and hand surgeries, necessitating meticulous anaesthesia planning. Airway assessment revealed difficult intubation characteristics, necessitating the preparation of advanced airway management tools, including fibreoptic bronchoscopy and bougie-assisted intubation. Ultrasonography played a crucial role in airway evaluation, real-time vascular access, and regional anaesthesia administration. Peripheral and neuraxial blocks were used to optimize analgesia while minimizing opioid-related complications. Intraoperative care focused on maintaining normothermia, ensuring hemodynamic stability, and preventing airway-related morbidity. Extubation was carefully managed following complete neuromuscular recovery. A multidisciplinary approach, incorporating ultrasound-guided interventions, significantly enhanced the safety and efficacy of anaesthetic management. This case report emphasizes the importance of comprehensive preoperative planning and the integration of ultrasonography to mitigate complications and improve perioperative outcomes in patients with Apert syndrome.
