Comparative Study of Postoperative Analgesic Effects of Intraoperative Levobupivacaine Local Infiltration Anesthesia and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Following Gynecologic Laparoscopy.

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
Objectives: We aim to assess the postoperative analgesic effect of intraoperative levobupivacaine local infiltration anesthesia (LA) and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in gynecologic laparoscopy. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on the data of 260 patients treated by gynecologic laparoscopy (adnexal surgery, hysterectomy, and myomectomy) between January 2019 and December 2020 at Minoh City Hospital, Osaka Japan. Patients were divided into two groups: intraoperative LA group and TAP block group. We assessed clinical characteristics, surgical results, postoperative numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores, and the frequency of analgesic use up to 24 h after surgery in overall and by each type of surgery. Pearson's χ Results: NRS pain score was statistically significantly higher in the LA group than in the TAP group 1 h after surgery in overall ( Conclusion: Intraoperative levobupivacaine LA may have similar postoperative analgesic effects as TAP block in gynecologic laparoscopy.
