Anesthesia management for pediatric intestinal transplantation-a single-centre case series of eleven patients.

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
purposePediatric intestinal transplantation is the main treatment modality for children with intestinal failure who develop severe complications including intestinal failure-associated liver disease, progressive loss of central venous access, and repeated admissions requiring critical care management. We aimed to describe the perioperative management of patients undergoing intestinal transplantation at a tertiary children's hospital between 2012 and 2023, identifying challenges and potential solutions.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the anesthetic management of 11 children who underwent intestinal transplantation between January 2012 and August 2023. Information collected included preoperative characteristics, intraoperative management, and postoperative outcomes.
resultsThe predominant diagnosis of intestinal failure was gastroschisis (5/11, 45%), while progressive liver disease (6/11, 55%) was the main indication for transplantation. In our cohort, five patients underwent isolated intestinal transplantation, four underwent multivisceral transplantation, and two had liver and intestine transplantation. Five patients had postreperfusion syndrome, while eight (73%) patients were hypothermic (temperature [T] < 35 °C). Ten patients required at least one vasopressor/inotrope intraoperatively, with the first-line agent being norepinephrine. Three patients were extubated in the operating room; they had a median intensive care unit stay of three days. To date, the 1-year patient and graft survival rates were 91% (10/11).
conclusionsWith careful preoperative planning, judicious fluid management, and anticipation of potential hemodynamic instability, including postreperfusion syndrome, our data show that pediatric intestinal transplantation can be performed safely, with improved long-term outcomes compared with previous reports.
