Perioperative Management of a Patient With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Undergoing Thyroidectomy With Bilateral Modified Neck Dissection and the Role of Dexmedetomidine: 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
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is characterized by the presence of an accessory conduction pathway in the heart, predisposing patients to tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The perioperative management of these patients poses a significant challenge to the anesthetist due to the increased risk of arrhythmias, particularly under anesthetic and surgical stress. We report the successful perioperative management of a patient with WPW syndrome undergoing thyroidectomy with bilateral modified neck dissection. The nature of the surgery increased the risk of vagal stimulation, given the proximity of the carotid sinus to the surgical field. Careful anesthetic planning and intraoperative vigilance were essential to prevent complications. Strategies included careful selection of anesthetic agents, avoidance of sympathetic and vagal stimulation, and the use of dexmedetomidine to maintain hemodynamic and rhythm stability. This case contributes to the limited literature available on the anesthetic management of WPW syndrome in the context of thyroid surgeries with neck dissection.
