Importance of anesthesiologists' non-technical skills in the management of a case of life-threatening cardiac tamponade during robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

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
Deficiency of non-technical skills may increase the number of adverse events in the operating room. Sustained life-threatening hypotension due to intraoperative cardiac tamponade during robot-assisted thoracic surgery is rare, requiring prompt assessment and swift decision-making. A 54-year-old woman was scheduled to undergo robot-assisted thoracic surgery for an anterior mediastinal tumor. During the operation, hemodynamic instability occurred despite the administration of a high dose of vasopressor. Anesthesiologists and thoracic surgeons shared information regarding the situation, and decided to perform echocardiography and call other physicians for assistance. Cardiac tamponade was diagnosed during echocardiography, and an incision was made in the pericardium. The patient recovered from the critical situation and was extubated in the operating room. Particularly in robot-assisted surgery, non-technical skills are indispensable to enable the anesthesiologist to successfully manage critical hemodynamic instability owing to unexplained causes.
