Anaesthesia for Paramyotonia Congenita: A Narrative Review.
Review 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
Paramyotonia congenita (PMC) is a rare, non-progressive neuromuscular disorder characterised by muscle stiffness and delayed relaxation following voluntary contraction or mechanical stimulation. Its rarity means many anaesthetists may encounter it only once, if ever, in their careers. This narrative review synthesises existing literature on anaesthetic management in these patients. We aim to provide anaesthetists with a clearer understanding of PMC, with particular focus on perioperative considerations, choice of anaesthetic agents, and reported outcomes. While anaesthetic techniques vary, several recurring management principles emerge, including avoidance of triggers for muscle stiffness, careful temperature control, and readiness to manage potential complications. Although there is no consensus on the optimal anaesthetic approach to PMC, current literature suggests that, with appropriate planning and intraoperative vigilance, safe anaesthesia is achievable.
