Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of Thoracic Paravertebral Block and Erector Spinae Plane Block Combination in Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06584201 (Effects of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Paravertebral Block on Early Postoperative Pulmonary Function Test Parameters in Patients Undergoing Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), 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
Background The combination of a thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has not been investigated. We aimed to evaluate the effects of the combination of TPVB and ESPB particularly on postoperative pain scores in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Methods From January 1, 2021, to March 1, 2021, 13 patients older than 18 years who underwent combined ESPB and TPVB for analgesic treatment after elective VATS were included in the study. Standard anesthesia induction was performed for all patients, and the block was performed in the lateral decubitis position before surgery. Using the in-plane technique, an ultrasound (US)-compatible 22-gauge, 8-mm nerve block needle was introduced 2-3 cm lateral to the spinous process of the T6 vertebra and advanced in the caudocranial direction. Fifteen (15) ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered and pleural depression was observed. The same needle was withdrawn from the paravertebral space and advanced into the interfascial plane above the transverse process and below the erector spinae muscle at the T5 level. Then, 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected. Results The combination of TPVB and ESPB was performed in 13 patients. The mean age was 44.3 (21-68) years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.21 (16.9-35.9) kg/m
