Severe hypercapnia and hemodynamic instability following a sudden elevation in end-tidal CO₂ during thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. 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
backgroundEstablishing thoracoscopic pneumothorax in patients with extensive pleural adhesions often increases the risk of trocar-related lung injury, potentially causing abrupt extreme elevations in end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂) and precipitating life-threatening hemodynamic instability. Given the rarity of such events and complication in recovery, clearer recommendations for early recognition are needed to inform subsequent perioperative management. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old male undergoing elective thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer who had an abrupt elevation in P
conclusionsPatients with extensive pleural adhesions are at increased risk of trocar-related lung injury during the establishment of CO₂ pneumothorax. Continuous intraoperative ETCO₂ monitoring can facilitate early detection with cases of this type. Prompt recognition, effective hemodynamic management, and appropriate use of ventilatory support are essential to prevent potentially life-threatening complications.
