Ultrasound-guided paravertebral nerve block anesthesia on the stress response and hemodynamics among lung cancer patients.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThoracic surgery for radical resection of lung tumor requires deep anesthesia which can lead to an adverse inflammatory response, loss of hemodynamic stability, and decreased immune function. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility and benefits of ultrasound-guided paravertebral nerve block anesthesia, in combination with general anesthesia, for thoracic surgery for lung cancer. The block was performed by diffusion of anesthetic drugs along the paravertebral space to achieve unilateral multi-segment intercostal nerve and dorsal branch nerve block.
aimTo evaluate the application of ultrasound-guided paravertebral nerve block anesthesia for lung cancer surgery to inform practice.
methodsThe analysis was based on 140 patients who underwent thoracic surgery for lung cancer at our hospital between January 2018 and May 2020. Patients were randomly allocated to the peripheral + general anesthesia (observation) group (
resultsThe dose of intra-operative use of remifentanil and propofol and the postoperative use of sufentanil was lower in the observation group (1.48 ± 0.43 mg, 760.50 ± 92.28 mg, and 72.50 ± 16.62 mg, respectively) than control group (
conclusionUltrasound-guided paravertebral nerve block anesthesia improved the stress and hemodynamic response in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for lung cancer, with no increase in the rate of adverse events.
