Management of High Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section in the Semi-Fowler's Position.
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
High spinal anesthesia, a rare but serious complication of neuraxial techniques, occurs when local anesthetic spreads through the cerebrospinal fluid, blocking spinal segments above the intended level. This can lead to significant cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological effects. These effects include vasodilation, bradycardia, and potential respiratory failure if the phrenic nerve or brainstem is affected. High spinal blocks are particularly concerning in obstetric anesthesia, where they are used for labor analgesia and cesarean deliveries. The ability to quickly and effectively manage this high-risk event can significantly reduce the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In the event of a high spinal, we describe how the use of a semi-Fowler's position can salvage a high spinal and even prevent the need for intubation.
