The Efficacy and Safety of Paravertebral Block Combined with Parecoxib During Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAlthough video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is increasingly used, the optimal analgesia strategy is still unknown. We explore the efficacy and safety of preemptive ultrasound-guided paravertebral block (PVB) combined with parecoxib during VATS.
methodsSeventy-four patients were divided into two groups. PVBs were performed before anesthesia induction under real-time ultrasound guidance. Visual analog scale (VAS) score with coughing at 48 h after surgery, postoperative sufentanil consumption and level of sedation (LOS) at 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h postoperatively, intraoperative hemodynamics, satisfaction scores of patients and surgeons, remedial measures, time to chest tube removed and mobilization, adverse effects and hospital stay length were recorded. We also recorded inflammatory markers, respiratory function and the prevalence of chronic pain after surgery.
resultsVAS scores at rest and with coughing during the first 24 h after surgery were significantly lower in the P group (
conclusionPVB combined with parecoxib was associated with better pain relief, decreased sufentanil and ketorolac consumption, less hemodynamic instability, and a lower surgery-related stress response. However, the incidences of chronic pain 3 and 6 months after surgery and the risk of complication except urinary retention were not significantly different between groups.
