Perioperative respiratory adverse events during ambulatory anesthesia in obese children.
Review in Irish journal of medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Obesity is one of the most common clinical conditions in the pediatric population with an increasing prevalence ranging from 20 to 30% worldwide. It is well known that during ambulatory anesthesia, obese children are more prone to develop perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) associated with obesity. To avoid or at least minimize these adverse effects, a thorough preoperative assessment should be undertaken as well as consideration of specific anesthetic approaches such as preoxygenation before induction of anesthesia and optimizing drug dosing. The use of short-acting opioid and nonopioid analgesics and the frequent implementation of regional anesthesia should also be included. Noninvasive airway management, protective mechanical ventilation, and complete reversion of neuromuscular blockade and awake extubation also proved to be beneficial in preventing PRAEs. During the postoperative period, continuous monitoring of oxygenation and ventilation is mandatory in obese children. In the current review, we sought to provide recommendations that might help to reduce the severity of perioperative respiratory adverse events in obese children, which could be of particular importance for reducing the rate of unplanned hospitalizations and ultimately improving the overall postoperative recovery.
