Continuous Erector Spinae and Serratus-Intercostal Block With Ketamine-Dexmedetomidine Sedation for Quadrantectomy and Axillary Dissection in a Multimorbid Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Multimorbidity is a clinical presentation that poses an increased risk of perioperative and postoperative complications. Tailored anaesthetic management could potentially minimise the risk of negative outcomes. Peripheral nerve and fasciae blocks are valid strategies for perioperative and postoperative pain management, which avoid complications related to general anaesthesia and reduce the risk of intensive care unit admission as well as the hospital length of stay. We describe the case of a 56-old patient with multimorbidity, including obesity with a BMI of 45.7, unstable angina, predicted difficult airway management and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) scheduled for left mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy, managed with a left continuous thoracic erector spinae plane (ESP) block plus serratus-intercostal plane block (BRanches of Intercostal nerves at the Level of Mid-Axillary line (BRILMA)), and sedation with combined ketamine-dexmedetomidine. Fascial blocks combined with opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) proved to be effective for the multimorbid patient, ensuring successful perioperative management and a proper recovery after surgery.
