Correlation of preprocedural ultrasound estimated epidural depths in transverse median and posterior sagittal oblique view and body mass index with procedural epidural depths in patients scheduled for surgery under lumbar epidural anaesthesia.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsPreprocedural lumbar ultrasound (US) is employed for the estimation of epidural depth (ED). This study observed the correlation of preprocedural ED in transverse median (TM), parasagittal oblique (PSO) view, and body mass index (BMI) with procedural ED.
methodsIn a prospective study, 100 female patients, aged 40-65 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I/II, BMI 18.5-30 kg m-
resultsThe preprocedural and procedural ED was less in the TM group (4.43 ± 0.75 and 4.44 ± 0.75 cm) in comparison to those in the PSO group (4.86 ± 0.53, 4.90 ± 0.54;
conclusionPreprocedural US scanning provides an accurate estimate of actual EDs in TM and PSO view.
