1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAnesthesia management for patients with uncorrected univentricular heart and ectopic pregnancy undergoing emergency laparotomy presents significant challenges. Close collaboration among a multidisciplinary team, a keen understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology, and optimization of intraoperative hemodynamic targets are crucial for successful outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the anesthetic challenges encountered in a case of an adult female with uncorrected univentricular heart and ectopic pregnancy who required urgent exploratory laparotomy. We summarize critical anesthetic considerations for patients with univentricular heart physiology undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The patient successfully underwent unilateral salpingectomy under general anesthesia.

conclusionsMultidisciplinary coordination and tailored hemodynamic management were pivotal to successful outcomes, providing valuable reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of similar cases in the future.
