1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundThe ultrasound (US)-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block and oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane (OSTAP) block are used to decrease postoperative pain and subsequently opioids consumption.

aimThe aim was to test the hypothesis that US-guided ESP blocks can produce more reduction in opioid usage during the first 24 h after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to OSTAP block. SETTINGS AND

designSeventy adult patients (20-60 years old) who were planned to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were allocated in three groups in randomized controlled trial. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe three groups received either port site infiltration, US-guided bilateral ESP block (ESP group), or OSTAP (OSTAP group) with bupivacaine hydrochloride 0.25%. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Postoperative 24 h Morphine consumption, visual analogue scale (VAS), the intraoperative fentanyl (μg) and equivalent morphine dose in the recovery unit were recorded and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance.

resultsThe mean 24-h morphine consumption was statistically significant between groups (

conclusionBilateral US-guided ESP block was found to be as effective as bilateral US OSTAP block. There was more decrease in intraoperative rescue fentanyl, PACU morphine analgesia, 24-h morphine, and pain assessment score in both groups than the control port-site infiltration group.Clinical trial registration number: NCT03398564.
