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

backgroundAcetabular fracture surgery can cause severe postoperative pain. A combined lumbar erector spinae plane block and paraspinous sagittal shift quadratus lumborum block may augment analgesia.

methodsFifty two patients undergoing posterior column acetabular surgery were divided into: Group Single puncture combined lumbar Erector spinae and Quadratus lumborum block (SEQ), patients who received SEQ block before anesthesia; and Group morphine (MOR), those who received general anesthesia (GA) and morphine.

resultsDemographic characteristics were comparable. The heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure were significantly lower in the SEQ group than in the MOR group between 60 and 180 min intraoperatively (P < 0.001). Postoperative resting and dynamic visual analogue scale scores in the SEQ group were significantly lower than those in the MOR group at all studied periods (P = 0.022-0.001), except at 20 and 24 h postoperatively. Fentanyl was required in all MOR group patients at a mean dose of 110.0 ± 28.42 µg while 18 patients required fentanyl in SEQ group at a mean dose of 60.55 ± 25.54 µg. Postoperative morphine consumption was significantly less in SEQ group (6.33 ± 2.37 mg) than MOR group (17.0 ± 2.55 mg). Postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded in eight and four patients in MOR and SEQ group, respectively. No complications associated with the block technique were observed.

conclusionsThe SEQ block reduces the postoperative opioid consumption and provides stable intra and postoperative hemodynamics without observed complications in posterior column acetabular surgery.
