Ultrasound-Guided Interpectoral and Pectoserratus Plane Blocks in Breast Surgery: An Alternative Option to General Anaesthesia in an Elderly Woman with a Complex Medical History.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
With an incidence of over 1.5 million worldwide per annum, breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer affecting the female population. The main and most effective treatment in over 40% of these patients is a primary neoplasm resection. General anaesthesia, at times in association with loco-regional anaesthetics, is the most commonly used anaesthesia technique for radical mastectomies. Nausea, vomiting, and considerable postoperative pain, which are commonly experienced side effects and complications of general anaesthesia, tend, however, to augment most patients' post-surgical morbidity. A growing body of research has shown that loco-regional anaesthesia often used together with and, in some cases, in the substitution of general anaesthesia can be a safe, effective alternative. This work is a case report regarding a 94-year-old elderly patient who was anaesthetised during a left radical mastectomy using exclusively combined interpectoral and pectoserratus plane blocks.
