Trojan horse anaesthesia: A novel method of anaesthesia for pars plana vitrectomy.

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
contextTopical anesthesia has been used for pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with limited patient comfort. Thus, augmenting topical anesthesia with intracameral anesthesia (Trojan horse anesthesia) will provide pain-free experience during PPV.
aimsThis study was undertaken to evaluate the patient comfort and surgical safety using 2% lignocaine jelly augmented with intracameral 1.0% lignocaine solution for anesthetizing the eyes undergoing PPV. SETTINGS AND
designThis was a prospective interventional case series at tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS AND
methodsPatients planned for PPV for indications other than retinal detachment were included in the study. The pain perception of the participants undergoing PPV under Trojan horse anesthesia was evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and nonparametric analysis with level of significance at
resultsThere were 114 eyes of 114 patients in the study out of which 68.4% (
conclusionsTrojan horse anesthesia provides adequate analgesia for comfortable and safe 23-gauge PPV with high patient acceptability.
