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
backgroundAnesthesia plays an essential role in the successful surgical procedures for hand trauma. Compared with general anesthesia, brachial plexus block shows lots of benefits for the upper extremity. Specifically, ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block may overcome the issues of incomplete block and failure of anesthesia in such circumstances. The present study assessed the efficacy of ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block in clinical practice.
aimTo explore the efficacy of ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block in rapid recovery surgery for hand trauma.
methodsA total of 68 patients with traumatic hand injuries treated at our hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were selected. They were divided into an observation group and a control group with 34 patients in each group. The observation group underwent selective brachial plexus block guided by ultrasound and the control group underwent conventional brachial plexus block. The analgesic efficacy, intraoperative complications, wound healing time, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups under different anesthesia.
resultsThe percentage of cases with analgesia graded as "excellent or very good" was higher in the observation group than in the control group (
conclusionUltrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block has remarkable analgesic efficacy in patients with traumatic hand injuries. It can reduce the incidence of intraoperative complications, promote wound healing, and shorten the length of hospital stay.
