1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Simultaneous bilateral pulmonary resection via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) was safe and feasible for the treatment of bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules. But, it should be noted that considerable postoperative pain at the bilateral surgical site was a crucial issue. The safety and efficacy of bilateral thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) have been reported for postoperative analgesia. But, whether bilateral sequential TPVB can be safely and effectively used in simultaneous bilateral UVATS remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the analgesic efficacy and safety of bilateral sequential TPVB after simultaneous bilateral UVATS. Study Design and Methods: In this study, 80 participants scheduled for UVATS will be randomly allocated to the bilateral sequential TPVB group (G Discussion: This is the first prospective trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided bilateral sequential TPVB for postoperative analgesia following simultaneous bilateral UVATS. This study also intended to evaluate the effect of this intervention on postoperative quality of recovery and inflammation levels. The final results will provide clinical evidence related to bilateral sequential TPVB, and promote the application of that acting as a more appropriate analgesic method for simultaneous bilateral UVATS.
