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

We report the anaesthetic management of a 47-year-old woman scheduled for tumour resection of a giant ovarian tumour containing 28 litres of ascitic fluid. Her preoperative abdominal circumference was 186 cm due to massive ascites, and metabolic equivalents (METs) were less than 3.5. She was planned for cytoreductive surgery under general anaesthesia combined with epidural analgesia. Anaesthetic challenges included ventilatory management to maintain airway pressures, haemodynamic stability during massive fluid shifts, extensive monitoring, pre-induction epidural catheter placement, prevention of hypothermia, correction of metabolic or electrolyte derangements, and adequate postoperative pain relief.
