[Oberst's block anesthesia].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveComplete anesthesia of the phalanges of the fingers and toes. INDICATIONS: All lesions distal to the metacarpophalangeal/metatarsophalangeal joint. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Local infections at the injection site. Lesions proximal to the metacarpophalangeal/metatarsophalangeal joint. TECHNIQUE: A subcutaneous deposit of a 0.5-2% local anesthetic is administered dorsoradially and dorsoulnarly at the base of the metacarpophalangeal/metatarsophalangeal joint. With the cannula advanced to palmar, an additional 0.5-1.5 ml is then administered to achieve complete anesthesia. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: The effect of the local anesthesia is self-limiting.
resultsThe Oberst block results in reliable anesthesia of the finger and toe. All surgical procedures distal to the metacarpophalangeal/metatarsophalangeal joint can be performed without pain.
