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

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is widely used during minimally invasive spine procedures, including trans-Kambin oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion, to reduce the risk of neural injury. We present a unique case in which prolonged neuromuscular paralysis following succinylcholine induction resulted in the absence of effective neuromonitoring. After careful multidisciplinary consideration of case cancellation and a detailed risk-benefit assessment, the procedure was completed because it involved a single level without complicating anatomical factors. The patient experienced an excellent clinical outcome with no postoperative neurological deficit. This case highlights important anesthetic considerations, potential pharmacogenetic variability, and nuanced intraoperative decision-making when neuromonitoring becomes unexpectedly unavailable.
