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

Shoulder arthroscopy, a common intervention for severe rotator cuff injuries, is associated with severe postoperative pain. Upon performing cervical erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks at the C7 TP (tip or posterior tip) or the posterior tip of the C6 TP posterior tubercle in six patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy, sensory block was detectable in congruent cervico-thoracic dermatomes. Effective intraoperative and postoperative analgesia were consistently obtained for all six patients. This preliminary study illustrated that the cervical ESP block can be considered a potential simple regional anesthesia method for providing analgesia during shoulder arthroscopy with low risks of diaphragmatic paresis, upper extremity motor paresis, nerve injury and persistent hypotension.
