Effects of Ultrasound-Guided Bilateral Cervical Plexus Block Combined with General Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Total Parathyroidectomy and Partial Gland Autotransplantation Surgery.
Article in Local and regional anesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral cervical plexus block on general anesthesia, postoperative analgesia, and surgical outcomes in patients undergoing total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation. PATIENTS AND
methodsForty-eight ASA III-IV patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to renal failure were included: 24 patients received ultrasound-guided bilateral superficial and deep cervical plexus block combined with general anesthesia (group A), and 24 patients received general anesthesia alone (group B). Postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was provided with sufentanil 2 μg/kg. The primary outcome is the postoperative pain scores. Secondary outcomes include intraoperative remifentanil dosage, changes in hemodynamics, extubation time, and sufentanil consumption. Surgical outcomes regarding calcium, phosphorus and parathormone values were also noted.
resultsThe patients in group A required less remifentanil than group B (2.56±0.92mg vs 3.38±0.84mg,
conclusionUltrasound-guided bilateral superficial and deep cervical plexus block combined with general anesthesia for TPTA is an effective strategy to improve anesthesia management and achieve better postoperative analgesia, and has no impact on surgical outcomes.
