A randomised trial: effects of different anesthesia methods on early perioperative pain sensitivity and cellular immune function in patients undergoing radical mastectomy.
Article in Gland surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThis study sought to investigate the effects of transversus thoracic muscle plane-pectoral nerves (TTP-PECS) block combined with propofol anesthesia on early perioperative pain sensitivity and cellular immune function in patients undergoing radical mastectomy.
methodsA total of 115 patients who underwent radical mastectomy for breast cancer at our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the study subjects. The patients were allocated to the control group (n=57) or observation group (n=58) using a random number method. The control group was given simple general anesthesia, and the observation group was given TTP-PECS block combined with propofol anesthesia. The recovery time, pain [visual analogue scoring (VAS)] scores, and incidences of adverse reactions were compared between the 2 groups. Hemodynamic indicators [i.e., heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP)], stress indicators [i.e., blood glucose (GLU), epinephrine (E), cortisol (Cor)], and the cellular immune function ofthe2 groups before anesthesia (T0), at the end of operation (T1), 1day after operation (T2) and 3days after operation (T3) were recorded.
resultsThe spontaneous respiration recovery time, time to full wakefulness and the extubation time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05). The observation group had lower VAS scores than the control group at 2, 8, 12, and 24 h after operation (P<0.05). The levels of MAP, HR, GLU, E and Cor in the observation group at T1, T2, and T3 were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the observation group had increased cluster of differentiation (CD)3
conclusionsTTP-PECS block combined with propofol anesthesia can relieve pain, shorten the recovery time, stabilize the hemodynamic level, and alleviate the stress responses of patients undergoing radical mastectomy with a slight suppression of cellular immune function and high safety.
