Visualizing stellate ganglion with US imaging for guided SGB treatment: A feasibility study with healthy adults.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: As for ultrasound (US) guided stellate ganglion (SG) block, unsatisfactory curative outcomes and complications still remain. This problem could be greatly improved by identifying and monitoring SG. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports to directly visualize SG in literature. This study explored the feasibility of detection of SG and summarized the findings of SG through US. Methods: Fifty healthy adults with 100 SGs were enrolled. The size, shape, echogenicity, margin, the inferior pole of SG, the relationship between the superior pole of SG and the transverse process, the relationship between the superior pole of SG and the inferior thyroid artery, and the relationships between SG and other surrounding tissues were evaluated by US. Results: The SG was identified in 79% of the participants. No significant differences were found between the right and left sides regarding thickness, cross-sectional area (CSA), and position (all Conclusion: Our preliminary study demonstrates that US imaging provides the capability of detecting SG. This may be helpful in minimizing complications and improving the accuracy of US-guided SG block.
