[Ketamine as an adjunct to bupivacaine in infra-orbital nerve block analgesia after cleft lip repair].
Article in Brazilian journal of anesthesiology (Elsevier). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesWe conducted this study to investigate the safety and analgesic efficacy of the addition of Ketamine to Bupivacaine in bilateral extra-oral infra-orbital nerve block in children undergoing cleft lip surgeries.
methodsSixty patients were randomly allocated into two groups (n=30), Group B received infra-orbital nerve block with 2mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine and Group BK received 0.5mg.kg
resultsPatients in Group BK showed lower postoperative FLACC scores during all recorded time points (p<0.0001). Two patients in Group BK versus 12 in Group B requested for postoperative rescue analgesia (p<0.001). There were no differences between groups in time, minutes (min), to first request for rescue analgesia. Patients in Group BK reported lower analgesic consumption (366.67±45.67 vs. 240.0±0.0mg, p<0.04). The time to first oral intake was significantly reduced in Group BK (87.67±15.41 vs. 27.33±8.68min, p<0.001). Lower postoperative Agitation scores were recorded in Group BK patients that reached a statistical significance at 45min (0.86±0.11 vs. 0.46±0.16, p<0.04) and in the first hour (h) postoperatively (1.40±0.17 vs. 0.67±0.14, p<0.003). Higher parent satisfaction scores were recorded in Group BK (p<0.04) without significant adverse effects.
conclusionsThe addition of Ketamine to Bupivacaine has accentuated the analgesic efficacy of infra-orbital nerve block in children undergoing cleft lip repair surgeries.
