Anesthetic practices and physiological foundations in fetal surgery: a literature review.
Review in Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 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
Fetal anesthesia plays a critical role in ensuring maternal and fetal safety and optimizing outcomes during fetal surgical interventions. Despite its importance, there is currently no consensus regarding optimal anesthetic strategies for these procedures. This narrative review explores the principal types of fetal surgery, including minimally invasive and fetoscopic procedures, open fetal surgery, and Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment, with particular emphasis on the factors influencing anesthetic decision-making. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across SciELO, PubMed, and Google Scholar, including articles published in any language up to May 2024. This review aims to highlight current anesthetic techniques and relevant maternal-fetal physiological considerations. Although fetal surgery can be performed safely using different anesthetic modalities, anesthetic management should be individualized according to maternal and fetal conditions, patient preferences, and the expertise of the multidisciplinary team. The lack of standardized guidelines and the limited availability of high-quality evidence underscore the need for further research. Future studies should focus on protocol development, complication management, and the use of adjuvant therapies to enhance maternal and fetal outcomes.
