Ultrasound-guided single thoracic paravertebral nerve block and erector spinae plane block for perioperative analgesia in thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy: a randomized controlled trial.

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
objectiveTo explore the effect of a single preoperative ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for perioperative analgesia in thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy.
methodsSeventy-two patients aged 40-70 years who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled and randomly divided into the control group (Group C), the TPVB group (Group T) and the ESPB group (Group E). The primary observation indicators included the visual analogue scale (VAS) at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h postoperatively at rest and with a cough. The secondary observation indicators included the intraoperative sufentanil consumption, anesthesia awakening time and extubation time, the sufentanil consumption in the analgesic pump, and flurbiprofen ester consumption for remedial analgesia within 48 h after surgery and the incidence of postoperative adverse events.
resultsThe intraoperative sufentanil consumption, anesthesia awakening time, and extubation time were lower in groups T and E than those in group C (p < 0.05). Patients in group T had lower VAS scores at rest and with a cough at 1, 6, and 12 h postoperatively than in group C at the same time points (p < 0.05). The VAS scores at rest at 1 and 6 h postoperatively and coughing status at 1, 6, and 12 h postoperatively were lower in group E than in group C at the same time points (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe ultrasound-guided preoperative single TPVB and ESPB for thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy could both reduce the postoperative pain VAS score and reduce the dose of perioperative sufentanil and postoperative remedial analgesics.
