A patient with myasthenia gravis showing lower sensitivity to rocuronium and earlier recovery of train-of-four responses on electromyography compared to acceleromyography: a case report.
Article in JA clinical reports, 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
backgroundAlthough newly developed electromyographic devices have been introduced in anesthetic practice, reports on their use in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) are lacking. We describe electromyographic monitoring combined with acceleromyography in a myasthenic patient. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old female underwent robot-assisted thoracoscopic thymothymectomy due to MG associated with thymoma. At general anesthesia induction, 0.13 mg/kg of rocuronium completely suppressed the acceleromyographic train-of-four (TOF) response, enabling tracheal intubation. However, the electromyographic TOF count remained at 4. Intraoperatively, rocuronium was administered whenever the acceleromyographic TOF count reached 1, which was consistently delayed compared to the electromyographic TOF count of 1. After surgery, sugammadex 2 mg/kg was administered following confirmation of a TOF count of 2 on both monitors, which enabled successful extubation in the operating room.
conclusionsThis case suggests that combining electromyography with acceleromyography might be more beneficial than electromyography or acceleromyography alone in myasthenic patients, until further evidence is available.
