Anaesthetic Management of a Child With Severe Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Patients with cerebral palsy are known to present with numerous anaesthetic challenges due to spasticity, joint deformities, cognitive dysfunction, and behavioural abnormalities. Our patient was an eight-year-old girl with severe spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (SQCP) posted for cataract surgery with IOL (intraocular lens) placement under general anaesthesia. A thorough preanaesthetic checkup (PAC) was performed, after which the family members were counselled, and appropriate medications based on the patient's condition were prescribed to prepare her for the anaesthetic and surgical procedures. We encountered initial challenges with cannulation and patient positioning, but apart from that, we successfully managed the patient throughout the surgical procedure, and recovery was smooth. We conclude that every patient may respond differently, but meticulous assessments and comprehensive planning, along with a multidisciplinary approach, can certainly ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for the patient and pose fewer challenges for the anaesthesiologist.
