Ultrasound-Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Nerve Block on Postoperative Pain, Quality of Life, and Recovery in Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Article in BioMed research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesOur study will investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (UG-TPVB) on postoperative pain, quality of life, and enhanced recovery in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing lobectomy surgery.
methodsOur study included 100 patients aged 52 to 75 years who underwent lobectomy surgery with pathological diagnosis of NSCLC. Patients received ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block or general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. Patients' pain score was recorded on a numeric rating scale (NRS) 24 hours post operation. The total postoperative dosage of tramadol hydrochloride, length of hospitalization, quality of life (QoL), and inflammation levels were recorded.
resultsCompared with patients who received general anesthesia with tracheal intubation, patients in the UG-TPVB group had lower postoperative NRS scores at 24 h (1.8 vs. 3.5,
