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

backgroundNeuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are the leading cause of perioperative anaphylaxis. In confirmed cases with limited non-cross-reactive options, safe anesthesia requires coordination and muscle relaxant-free strategies. CASE: A 64-year-old woman with confirmed rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis and multiple comorbidities-including poorly controlled diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and obesity-underwent laparoscopic anterior resection of the sigmoid colon. General anesthesia was induced and maintained without muscle relaxants using total intravenous anesthesia and regional blocks. Airway topicalization and deep anesthesia enabled smooth intubation. Bilateral transversus abdominis plane and rectus sheath blocks provided effective somatic analgesia and abdominal relaxation. Ventilation and hemodynamic parameters remained stable throughout. The patient recovered uneventfully, without agitation or delayed arousal, and was discharged uneventfully on postoperative day 5.

conclusionsThis report describes the feasibility of NMBA-free general anesthesia using intravenous agents and targeted regional blocks in high-risk patients with confirmed anaphylaxis, even in laparoscopic procedures.
