Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block versus port site infiltration for postoperative pain and quality of recovery in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: An assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and Aim: Pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is common and results in poor quality of recovery. Our study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of port site local infiltration, novel erector spinae plane (ESP) block, and standard regimen in patients undergoing LC and its impact on functional recovery. Methods: After ethical approval and registering the trial, we randomly allocated 105 adult patients undergoing LC to three groups: Group I ( Results: Pain in the first 6 h was lowest in the ESP group ( Conclusion: ESP block provided lower postoperative pain scores with opioid-sparing and better quality of recovery in patients undergoing LC.
