Regional Anesthesia Techniques for Pain Management for Laparoscopic Surgery: a Review of the Current Literature.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 21 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.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThe field of regional anesthesia has evolved tremendously in the last 15 years. New anesthesia protocols for ambulatory surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery have been developed as well. The focus of these techniques and protocols has centered on patient satisfaction and pain control while minimizing the use of opioids. The field of ambulatory surgery and anesthesia continues to evolve, and regional anesthesia and its plane techniques are at the center of these changes. RECENT
findingsRecent research has shown that regional techniques contribute to better pain control and patient experience and may decrease patient readmission rates. The safety of these techniques has been validated when performed by experienced practitioners. New techniques such as the erector spinae block (ESP) have been studied in the setting of laparoscopic surgery with promising results. Regional anesthesia techniques for patients presenting for laparoscopic surgery are safe and seem to provide benefits. Those are related to patient experience, pain control, and readmission rates. Different techniques can be applied to a specific type of intervention. Application of these techniques depend on the clinical picture and patient. Future research may help us clarify how these techniques may improve patient satisfaction and operating room efficiency. New regional blocks may also develop based on what we know today.
