Bilateral Lower Limb Sensorimotor Deficit Following General Anesthesia: A Case Report.
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
Bilateral lower-limb sensorimotor deficit after general anesthesia is rare but important. We describe a 36-year-old woman who developed acute bilateral lower-limb weakness and numbness immediately after elective supra-umbilical hernia repair under general anesthesia. Notably, she had experienced a similar transient episode following cesarean section anesthesia. She had a negative diabetic history, no baseline numbness in daily activities, and a preoperative exam confirming all motor and sensory reflexes intact. Past history was significant for antidepressant therapy. Intraoperatively, induction was smooth, the patient remained vitally stable, and positioning was smooth in and out of the operating room. MRI excluded cord infarction and compressive lesions but revealed degenerative lumbar changes with paraspinal edema. Conservative management with dexamethasone, baclofen, and celecoxib led to complete recovery within four days. This case highlights the importance of recognizing perioperative neurological complications.
