Case Report: Erector Spinae Block in Perforated Viscus.
Article in Local and regional anesthesia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) a new block described for post-operative analgesia. Since 2016 the block has become a common practice in many institutions globally. Evidence has shown that ESPB is superior to truncal and abdominal wall blocks for many thoracic and abdominal surgeries. Case Presentation: A 29-year-old male, ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) IIE patient presented with acute appendicitis. Patient was scheduled to undergo Laparoscopic Appendicectomy under general anesthesia (GA) with ESPB for post op analgesia. In the operating room after induction of GA patient received an ultrasound (US) guided bilateral ESPB at T10 level of the spinal cord with 20 mls of 0.25% levobupivacaine on each side. Intraoperatively the appendix was found to be normal and there was an incidental finding of perforated superior/first part of duodenum (D1). The duodenum was repaired. Patient remained hemodynamically stable intraoperatively. No intraoperative morphine was required. After uneventful extubation, the patient was transferred to post-operative anesthesia care unit (PACU). Patient reported pain score of zero on a 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) in PACU. No morphine was required in the next 24 hours on the ward either. Conclusion: ESPB can provide opioid free analgesia for laparoscopic repair of perforated duodenal ulcer both intra and postoperatively.
