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

Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been applied in clinic for almost a century as a therapeutic procedure to alleviate pain-related syndromes and vascular deficits in the upper extremities. A great number of causative side effects and complications due to technological insufficiency and anatomical variations called for the popularity of ultrasound-guided SGB which has made tremendous contribution for clinical diagnosis and therapy, primarily in postoperative pain and cardiac and vascular disorders. This work was aimed at systematically summarizing the current clinical application of ultrasound-guided SGB and putting forward the potential prospective application in future. By searching ultrasound-guided SGB-related works on PubMed database, we mainly elucidated the analgesic effect of preoperative SGB in patients undergoing surgical procedures and substantial reduction in patients with ventricular arrhythmias. The volume of local anesthetics used in ultrasound-guided SGB has been diminished in the recent few years' investigations and successful operation of ultrasound-guided SGB could be achieved with minimal safe volume of local anesthetics. This invasive and safe procedure shows vast potential for future development in clinical treatment for autonomic nervous system and autoimmune disorders. We also put forward hypothesis that ultrasound-guided SGB could be applied combined with controlled hypotension to reduce the intraoperative complications in orthopedic surgery such as insufficiency of cerebral blood flow and reflexive tachycardia. Thus, it is of vital essence to improve the professional skills of physicians for the high rate of success and explore more effective measures which could enhance therapeutic effects when combined with ultrasound-guided SGB in alleviating misery of patients.
