Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A retrospective study.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07576712 (Is the Application of Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Effective for Pain Control in Classical Four-Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?), 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects on postoperative pain of ketamine and dexmedetomidine addition to bupivacaine in a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted patients who underwent ultrasound-guided TAP block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patients were divided into three groups: Group BD (Bupivacaine+Dexmedetomidine), Group BK (Bupivacaine+Ketamine), and Group B (Bupivacaine). Our primary outcomes were pain scores with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), postoperative first analgesic time and tramadol consumption in 24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative hemodynamic changes, rescue analgesic requirement and side effects.
resultsThe first analgesic administration time was significantly shorter in Group B and significantly longer in Group BD than the other two groups. Pain score at rest in Group B at 0
conclusionDexmedetomidine and ketamine can be added to the bupivacaine for the TAP block without major side-effects. The combination of dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine provides better analgesia in the first postoperative 2
