Updates in Pediatric Regional Anesthesia and Its Role in the Treatment of Acute Pain in the Ambulatory Setting.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to summarize the latest advances in pediatric regional anesthesia with special emphasis on its role in the ambulatory surgical setting. RECENT
findingsUndertreated pain in children following ambulatory surgery is not a rare occurrence and it is associated with increased morbidity and significant psychosocial harm. Use of regional anesthesia as part of the anesthetic approach in the ambulatory setting is safe when performed on children under general anesthesia and inclusion of certain adjuncts improves block outcomes. Ultrasonographic visualization during blockade improves safety and prolongs duration. Ambulatory continuous nerve blocks in older children are safe, efficacious, and associated with high patient and caregiver satisfaction rates. In the ever-growing field of pediatric same-day surgery, safe and efficient flow through the perioperative period necessitates use of a multimodal approach, of which regional anesthesia is but one important component. Perioperative complications are minimized with less opioid use, and yet appropriate pain management must be ensured. Pediatric regional anesthesia has been shown to be exceedingly safe under general anesthesia. Findings demonstrate that advances in ultrasound technology have contributed to safer and longer-lasting analgesia. It facilitates the development of new methods by which regional anesthesia can improve postoperative analgesia in children upon discharge and beyond.
