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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) on sleep quality in elderly patients with lung cancer early after thoracoscopic surgery.
methodsA total of 86 patients with lung cancer (ASA class I-III, aged 60-80 years) undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery were randomized into stellate ganglion block (SGB) group (
resultsThirty-six patients in SGB group and 35 in the control group were analyzed. In both groups, most of the patients had insomnia after surgery, but compared with those in the control group, the patients in SGB group had significantly longer sleep duration (
conclusionUltrasound-guided SGB improves objective and subjective sleep quality in elderly patients early after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer to alleviate stress responses and sleep disorders, reduce postoperative hospital stay, and accelerate postoperative recovery of the patients.
