Respiratory Failure Due to Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Rare Presentation of Myasthenia Gravis.
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
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junctions. A 50-year-old woman with well-controlled MG developed stridor and respiratory failure on the first postoperative day after undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with total intravenous anesthesia and sugammadex reversal. During orotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy revealed bilateral vocal fold paralysis in the adducted position. After failed extubation attempts, tracheostomy was required. The patient improved with optimized MG management and was discharged after three weeks. This rare MG manifestation emphasizes the importance of early stridor recognition, difficult airway preparedness, and adherence to American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines for airway management and bronchoscopy.
