1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

purposeThe goal of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of additional axillary nerve block (ANB) with suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and patient-controlled anaesthesia (PCA) with no device assistance after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The hypothesis is that patients with intravenous (IV) PCA and the blockade of the two main nerves (SSNB + ANB) experienced lesser pain than patients with IV PCA or IV PCA + SSNB.

methodsThe 114 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were allocated randomly to three groups as follows: group I, intravenous PCA pumps (only PCA); group II, IV PCA + SSNB using a blind technique (PCA + SSNB); and group III, IV PCA + SSNB + ANB using a blind technique (PCA + SSNB + ANB). Pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were evaluated at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 post-operative hours. Furthermore, the degree of pain was compared according to cuff tear size.

resultsThe pain VAS score of group III was lower than that of the other two groups and was significantly lower at post-operative hours 1, 6, and 12. In addition, the larger cuff tear tended to be indicative of greater pain. However, all groups experienced rebound pain.

conclusionPCA + SSNB + ANB using a blind technique is a better pain control method than PCA + SSNB and only PCA during the initial 12 post-operative hours. PCA + SSNB + ANB is a cost-effective, time-saving, and easily performed method for post-operative pain control as an axis of multimodal pain control strategy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
