Feasibility of laryngeal mask anesthesia combined with nerve block in adult patients undergoing internal fixation of rib fractures: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05069961 (Non- Inferiority Study of Erector Spinae Plane Block Compared to Thoracic Epidural Analgesia in Multimodal Pain Management of Multiple Rib Fractures), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundThe laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is occasionally used in internal fixation of rib fractures. We evaluated the feasibility of general anesthesia with an LMA associated to a thoracic paravertebral block (TPB) and/or an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for internal fixation of rib fractures.
methodsTwenty patients undergoing unilateral rib fracture fixation surgery were enrolled. Each patient received general anesthesia with an LMA combined with TPB and/or ESPB, which provided a successful blocking effect. All patients received postoperative continuous analgesia (PCA) with 500 mg of tramadol and 16 mg of lornoxicam, and intravenous injection of 50 mg of flurbiprofen twice a day. Our primary outcomes including the partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO
resultsThirteen men and seven women (age 35-70 years) were enrolled. Six (30%) had a flail chest, nine (45%) had hemothorax and/or pneumothorax, and two (10%) had pulmonary contusions. The postoperative PaO
conclusionsThe technique of laryngeal mask anesthesia combined with a nerve block was feasible for internal fixation of rib fractures.
