1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNerve block showed some potential in alleviating pain after mammaplasty. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the efficacy of nerve block for pain control after mammaplasty.

methodsThe databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases were systematically searched for collecting the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the impact of nerve block on pain intensity after mammaplasty.

resultsThis meta-analysis included 4 RCTs. Compared with control group after mammaplasty, nerve block resulted in remarkably reduced pain scores at 1 hour (mean difference [MD] = -1.84; 95% CI = -2.49 to -1.20;

conclusionsNerve block was associated with substantially reduced pain intensity after mammaplasty.
