A Comparative Study of Automated Pulsed Bolus Versus Continuous Basal Infusion on Distribution of Dye in the Paravertebral Space in a Cadaver.
Article in Cureus, 2019. 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
Adequate pain control following thoracic surgery is important to enhance post-operative recovery. Paravertebral catheters have been reported to have a variety of clinical applications, including the blunting of surgical pain, lessening the need for opioids, and improvement in post-operative ventilation. The spread of local anesthesia to multiple paravertebral spaces is needed to establish an effective block. We have determined that the spread of contrast dye by a catheter in the thoracic paravertebral space is greater in a programmed intermittent bolus than in a continuous basal infusion.
