Quadratus Lumborum Block III for Postoperative Pain After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05822492 (Comparison of the Effects of Anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block and Erector Spina Plane Block on Postoperative Acute Pain in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveAn effective pain control is important in early mobilization and returning to normal daily life following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operations. The use of an intraoperative local anaesthetic or postoperative analgesic has been reported for pain control in PCNL. Transmuscular quadratus block (QLB III) is a regional anaesthetic technique applied under ultrasound guidance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of QLB III on postoperative pain in PCNL.
methodsThis prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was carried out at the Dr Ersin Arslan Training and Research Hospital between December 2016 and March 2017. The QLB III block was administered to a total of 44 patients who had undergone elective PCNL under spinal anaesthesia. While half of the patients (Group S, n=22) received 0.2 cc kg
resultsThe postoperative VAS was found to be statistically significantly higher at the 8
conclusionThe QLB III was observed to be effective in pain control and reducing morphine consumption during the postoperative 48 hours follow-up after PCNL.
