Is There a Difference between Perineural Dexamethasone with Single-Shot Interscalene Block (SSIB) and Interscalene Indwelling Catheter Analgesia (IICA) for Early Pain after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair? A Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Interscalene block is applied to control acute postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), typically with single-shot interscalene block (SSIB) or continuous interscalene indwelling catheter analgesia (IICA), and dexamethasone (Dex) for extending the analgesic effect. This study investigated whether perineural Dex can extend the postoperative analgesic effect of SSIB to match that of IICA. A total of 130 patients were recruited and divided into two groups (Group D, SSIB with perineural Dex,
