Anesthetic Management of a 33-Year-Old Female With Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: 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
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a heterogeneous group of rare neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness in the hip and shoulder muscles. Like many other muscular dystrophies, LGMD patients are at increased risk of rhabdomyolysis, malignant hyperthermia (MH), and cardiopulmonary compromise, posing significant anesthetic challenges for these patients. Despite this, there are few reports on anesthesia management in patients with LGMD. We present the anesthetic management of a 33-year-old single female with LGMD undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A 33-year-old Middle Eastern, wheelchair-dependent female with LGMD (subtype 2A) presented for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy following recurrent biliary colic. Preoperative evaluation revealed normal cardiac function and minimal pulmonary involvement. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol, fentanyl, rocuronium, and morphine was administered without volatile anesthetics. Intraoperative monitoring followed the American Society of Anesthesiologists standards. The surgery was uneventful, and the patient was extubated successfully without ICU admission. General anesthesia with TIVA is considered a safe approach for LGMD patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Avoidance of triggering agents and meticulous perioperative planning are essential to minimize complications.
