Atypical Postoperative Presentation of Malignant Hyperthermia in an Elderly Patient Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
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
We report an unusual case of an 82-year-old female who developed acute respiratory distress, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and hypertension in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), which improved significantly after initiation of dantrolene. Given the patient's atypical age, delayed symptom onset, and notable improvement following dantrolene administration, we present an atypical case in which malignant hyperthermia (MH) could not be ruled out based on clinical progression. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for MH in atypical presentations and highlights the critical role of timely diagnosis and intervention.
