Anesthetic Management in a Patient with Dandy-Walker Syndrome Undergoing Supraglottoplasty and Adenotonsillectomy: 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
We report the case of a three-year-old girl with Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS), severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), micrognathia, laryngomalacia, seizure disorder, and recurrent aspiration pneumonia who was scheduled for direct laryngotracheal bronchoscopy, supraglottoplasty, and adenoidotonsillectomy. Preoperative optimization included bronchodilator therapy and pulmonology input. Anesthetic management prioritized spontaneous ventilation using inhalational induction with sevoflurane followed by propofol infusion. Airway topicalization with lidocaine and adjunctive dexmedetomidine facilitated atraumatic airway manipulation. After endoscopic airway assessment, tracheal intubation was performed to complete the surgery. Given the extensive airway instrumentation and severe OSA, the patient remained intubated postoperatively and was extubated uneventfully in the pediatric intensive care unit after 24 hours. This case highlights the challenges of anesthetic management in children with complex syndromic airways and emphasizes the importance of strategies that maintain spontaneous ventilation, attenuate airway reflexes, and allow for safe postoperative monitoring.
