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.

2 · The registry

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

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB), a recent innovation in regional anesthesia, has been used for analgesia of the thorax and chest. The case presented describes the use of an ESPB postoperatively for rescue analgesia on an elderly, opioid-naïve patient, who had severe postoperative pain after outpatient surgery at an axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy site refractory to escalating IV opioid doses. The rescue ESPB was successful in reducing the patient's pain to 0/10, allowing the patient to be discharged home and preventing a costly hospital admission.
