Intra-operative effect of interscalene brachial plexus block to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.
Trial report in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionTo determine whether the placement of an interscalene brachial plexus block (IBPB) with general anaesthesia before shoulder arthroscopy would be effective in establishing a clear visual field and in shortening the surgical procedure.
methodThis prospective randomized control trial study included 152 patients who had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Group A received IBPB and group B did not receive IBPB. A visual clarity scale (VCS) was determined by arthroscopic visualization. The systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), duration of surgical procedure, VCS, and medication that was administered for haemodynamic stability were recorded.
resultsThe VCS was improved in group A at stages 2 and 3 of the surgical procedures (p < 0.05), but there were no significant difference at stages 1 (p = 0.288) and 4 (p = 0.062). SBP, DBP, and HR were higher in group B during surgery (p < 0.05). The administered analgesics were higher in group B (p = 0.003), but there were no differences in hypotensive agents (p = 0.287). No significant difference was observed for the duration of surgery (p = 0.704).
conclusionsPre-operative IBPB with general anaesthesia for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair was beneficial in maintaining haemodynamic stability and improving the VCS during surgery.
