Blockade of intercostobrachial nerve by an erector spinae plane block at T2 level: a case report.
Article in JA clinical reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe intercostobrachial nerve blockade is required, in addition to brachial plexus block, to anesthetize the entire upper arm. No studies have described the use of erector spinae plane (ESP) block for an intercostobrachial nerve block. CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old man was scheduled to undergo left brachial vein transposition-arteriovenous fistula creation for hemodialysis access. An ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block was performed using a mixture of 0.5% levobupivacaine (12.5 ml) and 2% lidocaine (12.5 ml). An ESP block was implemented using 10 ml of the same local anesthetic at the T2 level. A pinprick test showed that the entire upper arm and lateral aspect of the left upper chest wall were anesthetized 20 min after the blocks. Surgery was successfully performed without the need for general anesthesia.
conclusionsIn the present case, an ESP block performed at the T2 level provided sensory loss of the area innervated by the intercostobrachial nerve.
