Comparison of Morphine and Clonidine as Adjuvants in Paravertebral Block.
Article in Anesthesia, essays and researches. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundGeneral anesthesia (GA) has been considered as the gold standard for breast cancer surgery. The problem of postoperative pain as well as the high incidence of nausea and vomiting has led to the search for a better modality for pain management with fewer side effects. In the last few years, paravertebral block (PVB) has gained immense popularity either in combination with GA or by itself for the anesthetic management of patients undergoing breast surgery. CONTEXT: Paravertebral block in breast surgery.
aimsThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy and duration of postoperative analgesia provided by ultrasound (USG)-guided PVB with bupivacaine and morphine versus bupivacaine and clonidine in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM). SUBJECT AND
methodsIn the study, 70 patients who were scheduled for MRM were enrolled and randomly divided into Group M (
resultsIn this study conducted on 70 patients, VAS scores (both at rest and on movement) were found comparable at postoperative 1, 2, 6, 18, and 24 h (
conclusionsMorphine and clonidine in PVB are equally effective, and there is no superiority of one agent over the other. Hence, both drugs may be used with equal efficacy as adjuvants to bupivacaine in PVB for providing postoperative analgesia.
