Popliteal block for lower limb surgery in children with cerebral palsy: effect on sevoflurane consumption and postoperative pain (a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial).
Trial report in Journal of anesthesia, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a preoperative popliteal block on sevoflurane consumption, postoperative pain, and analgesic consumption in children with cerebral palsy (CP) following lower limb surgery.
methodsFifty-four patients undergoing lower limb surgery were randomized to receive either a popliteal block + general anaesthesia (group P, n = 27) or general anaesthesia without a popliteal block (group C, n = 27). After anesthesia induction with 50% N
resultsThe end-tidal sevoflurane concentration values were significantly higher in group C patients than in group P patients, except for at 5 min after induction of anaesthesia (p < 0.001). The SCF peak numbers per second and WBFS scores were significantly higher in group C patients than in group P patients, except at Tp24h (p < 0.001). The total paracetamol consumption was 489.7 ± 122.7 mg in group P patients and 816.6 ± 166.5 in group C patients (p < 0.001).
conclusionPopliteal block is effective for postoperative analgesia, decreasing the paracetamol consumption and sevoflurane requirement in children with CP undergoing lower limb surgery. Trial registration ClinicalTrial.gov identifier: NCT02507700.
