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.

2 · The registry

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

Interscalene regional anesthesia is an established and highly effective procedure; however, it represents an increased level of risk due to the close proximity of anatomical structures, such as the cervical spinal cord and many vessels. Furthermore, due to inadvertent placement of a catheter close to the cervical spinal cord or into a vessel, as opposed to a single shot injection technique, it remains a latent danger until it is removed. This article describes seven  cases of misplaced catheters. The etiology and symptoms are discussed as well as recommendations regarding the prevention of catastrophic complications. As a result, internal practice guidelines are recommended for anesthesia departments in order to enhance the safety and quality of regional anesthesia.
