Continuous erector spinae plane block for analgesia of sternum closure using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap for mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass grafting: a case report.
Article in JA clinical reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundErector spinae plane block (ESPB) is useful for providing analgesia after thoracic surgery. Previous reports show that ESPB is safely performed in patients receiving antithrombotic drugs. We effectively performed continuous ESPB in a patient receiving aspirin after coronary artery bypass grafting. CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old man with mediastinitis was scheduled for sternum closure using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap. He had gone coronary artery bypass grafting and was taking aspirin. After induction of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, a catheter was inserted for ESPB from the T6 level under ultrasound monitoring and infusion of ropivacaine was started. Tracheal tube was removed in the operating room, cold sense was absent between T2-8, and analgesia was between T3-T8 after uneventful surgery. There were no complications associated with ESPB postoperatively.
conclusionContinuous ESPB was a safe and useful analgesic method in a case undergoing sternum closure using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap.
