A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Anesthetic Management of Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Review in Pediatric pulmonology, 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
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder with multisystem involvement that causes progressive muscular weakness and cardiorespiratory dysfunction. The first comprehensive recommendations regarding anesthetic management are now almost 20 years old and, in the interval, DMD care has evolved. Patients with DMD are experiencing prolongation of survival and, with widespread use of assisted ventilation, cardiac function has become the main determinant of their survival. Newer procedures, such as advanced cardiac interventions, are now performed, in a population of older, medically fragile individuals. Regional anesthetic techniques have advanced, allowing more patients to avoid the risks of inhalational anesthesia, and newer techniques for reversing neuromuscular blockade and minimizing cardiorespiratory depression have become available. Additionally, new medications are being used that have anesthetic implications, including newer guideline-directed heart failure medications. Overall, it has become increasingly important for perioperative management to be addressed in a multidisciplinary way, with coordination between medical, surgical, and anesthetic clinicians. In this narrative review, we provide information on how DMD's multi-system involvement impacts perioperative assessment and management, and we advocate for a multidisciplinary approach to perioperative care.
