Comparison of pulmonary function during interscalene block vs. supraclavicular block: a single-center, double-blind, randomized trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2023. 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
backroundThe supraclavicular plexus block (SCB) and interscalene plexus block (ISB) have the potential to pulmonary function, the duration of the potential remains uncertain. So, we compared the effect of SCB and ISB on pulmonary function, especially the duration time.
methodsNinety-six patients were finally allocated to group I and group S. The ISB and the SCB procedures were performed with ultrasound guidance before anesthesia induction. An investigator recorded the diaphragm mobility and respiratory function test indicators before the block (T
resultsThe recovery times of diaphragm mobility in group I were longer than those in group S. Compared with group I, group S had a significantly lower diaphragmatic paralysis rate during eupnea breathing at T
conclusionsUltrasound-guided ISB resulted in a longer periods with a suppressive effect on pulmonary function than SCB. TRIALS REGISTRATION: 17/12/2019, ChiCTR1900028286.
