Effect of thoracic paraspinal block-propofol intravenous general anesthesia on VEGF and TGF-β in patients receiving radical resection of lung cancer.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04689945 (Metabolomic Profiling of Erector Spinae Plane Block for Breast Cancer Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 3 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
The objective of this study is to compare the effects of paravertebral nerve block-propofol intravenous general anesthesia (PPA) and sevoflurane inhalation general anesthesia (SGA) on the expression of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer.Patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer were divided into PPA group and SGA group. In PPA group, thoracic paraspinal nerve block was performed with 0.5% ropivacaine (2 mg/kg) before general anesthesia. Anesthesia was maintained with 2.5-3.5 μg/mL TCI of propofol. In SGA group, anesthesia was maintained with 1.0-1.5 MAC sevoflurane. The dosage of opioids during and 24 h after operation, the pain score at 2, 8, 24, 48, and 72 h after operation, and the concentrations of serum VEGF and TGF-β before and 24 h after operation were observed in the two groups.The intraoperative dosage of remifentanil in PPA group was significantly less than that in SGA group (P < 0.05). The dosage of sufentanil in SGA group was significantly less than that in SGA group at 24 h after operation (P < 0.05). The VAS score at 2, 8, and 24 h after operation was significantly lower than that in SGA group (P < 0.05). The serum VEGF and TGF-β concentration in PPA group was significantly lower than that in SGA group (P < 0.05).Thoracic paravertebral nerve block-propofol intravenous general anesthesia can reduce the dosage of opioids, improve the effect of postoperative analgesia, and reduce the serum concentration of tumor angiogenesis-related factors in patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer.
