The postoperative analgesic effect of intercostal nerve block and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia on patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThis research investigated the combined analgesic effects of intercostal nerve block and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) on patients after lung cancer surgery.
methods95 patients with thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer from April 2017 to July 2020 were enrolled as the research objects, and randomly divided into observation-group (n=50) and control-group (n=45) by random number table. The control-group received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA), and the observation group received combinative treatment of intercostal nerve block and IV-PCA. The changes of VAS scores and Ramsay sedation scores postoperatively, the satisfaction with analgesia of patients, the number of IV-PCA pump compressions and the incidence of postoperative anaesthetic-related adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe VAS score of the observation-group was markedly lower than that of the control-group 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h after surgery (
conclusionThe combinative treatment of intercostal nerve block and IV-PCA is safe and have obviously postoperative analgesic effect on patients undergoing thoracoscopic resection of lung cancer.
