Comparative respiratory outcomes of thoracic spinal versus general anesthesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgery: A retrospective study.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. 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
Background: Neuraxial anesthesia (NA), specifically thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA), offers several theoretical advantages when compared to the General Anesthesia (GA). This retrospective study compares TSA with the gold standard GA in elective colorectal laparoscopic surgery and evaluates the impact on respiratory functions. Material and Methods: The data used in this study were extracted from the medical records of 34 consecutive patients, who had undergone laparoscopic colon resection surgery in Melegnano Hospital-ASST Melegnano Martesana-Italy and had been administered NA or GA. Postoperative lung function was assessed via lung ultrasound [Lung Ultrasound Score(LUS)], and PaO Results: The average duration of the surgical procedure was 201.9 ± 50.4 min (NA 191.1 ± 44.1 vs. GA 212 ± 55.3 min, Conclusions: In the context of a progressively aging population and an increase in the fragility of patients, NA with spontaneous ventilation appears to exert a minor impact on respiratory function compared to GA.
