The Advances and Utility of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Regional Anesthesia: An Overview of Recent Developments.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in regional anesthesia has brought about transformative changes in acute pain management for surgical procedures. This review explores the evolving landscape of AI and robotics applications in regional anesthesia, outlining their potential benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations. AI-driven pain assessment, real-time guidance for needle placement during nerve blocks, and predictive modeling solutions for nerve blocks have the potential to enhance procedural precision and improve patient outcomes. Robotic technology aids in accurate needle insertion, reducing complications and improving pain relief. This review also highlights the ethical and safety considerations surrounding AI implementation, emphasizing data security and professional training. While challenges such as costs and regulatory hurdles exist, ongoing research and clinical trials demonstrate the practical utility of these technologies. In conclusion, AI and robotics have the potential to reshape regional anesthesia practice, ultimately improving patient care and procedural accuracy in pain management.
