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
Introduction: Ropivacaine is widely used as a local analgesic, but it has toxicity that is related to the concentration, and highly concentrated ropivacaine can induce motor nerve blockage. Aim: To investigate the safety of low-concentration pre-incisional ropivacaine injection for postoperative pain control and compare postoperative adverse events between a low-concentration ropivacaine injection group and a high-concentration ropivacaine injection group. Material and methods: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy via the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) between June 2017 and October 2021 performed by a single surgeon at Samsung Medical Center were retrospectively identified. These outcomes were compared between the two groups after 1 : 1 propensity score matching. Results: From a total of 633 patients, 620 patients were selected. There were 527 in the low-concentration ropivacaine group and 93 in the high-concentration ropivacaine group. After propensity score matching, two comparable groups with 93 patients in each were obtained. The incidence of ropivacaine-related adverse events was similar between the two groups (p = 0.186) but the occurrence of postoperative bradycardia (p = 0.048) was lower in the low-concentration ropivacaine group than in the high-concentration ropivacaine group. Other outcomes such as postoperative pain scores (p = 0.363), postoperative nausea and vomiting (p > 0.999), and postoperative opioid consumption (p = 0.699) were similar between the two groups. Conclusions: Pre-incisional low-concentration ropivacaine injection was effective for postoperative pain control and can be safely used in BABA thyroidectomy.
