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: To study the efficacy of bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension in prolonging sensory blocks of the median and ulnar nerves for subjects with Dupuytren contracture release by collagenase injection. We hypothesized that combining liposome bupivacaine and bupivacaine hydrochloride would extend the duration of blocks without added complications. Methods: We randomized 32 subjects scheduled for Dupuytren contracture release with collagenase Results: Sensory block was nearly 4 times longer in subjects who received the liposome bupivacaine mixture compared with subjects who received bupivacaine hydrochloride alone. Most subjects (13 of 16) who received the liposome bupivacaine mixture had adequate analgesia for finger manipulation to rupture the cords, whereas most subjects (15 of 16) who received bupivacaine hydrochloride alone required additional anesthesia. Subjects in the liposome mixture group reported lower pain scores through the first 3 days after treatment. There were no serious side effects. Conclusions: Addition of liposome bupivacaine to forearm blocks for Dupuytren contracture release prolonged sensory block and improved pain scores without increasing side effects or impairing hand function. Supplemental lidocaine injections for the painful phases of Dupuytren contracture release with collagenase Type of study/level of evidence: Therapeutic I.
