[Blockade of the distal sciatic nerve in the supine position with a newly developed ultrasound probe holder].
Article in Der Anaesthesist, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sonographically controlled blockade of the distal sciatic nerve is usually performed by placing the ultrasound probe on the dorsal side of the thigh. This requires positioning maneuvers (prone or side positioning) of the patient as well as additional assistance. In order to avoid these positioning maneuvers, a positioning aid with integrated ultrasound probe holder has been developed and its practicability was examined on patients with lower limb surgery. The sonographically controlled block of the sciatic nerve was performed with the patient under general anesthesia and in a supine position with the help of the new positioning aid with an integrated ultrasound probe holder. A total of >100 patients were treated, who underwent elective lower leg, ankle or foot surgery with a continuous blockade of the distal sciatic nerve using catheters for postoperative analgesia. The advantages are easy performance, hands-free needle movement and catheter placement. The disadvantages might be the need for in-plane catheter placement and a fixed ultrasound angle.
