Evaluation of the Efficacy of Pectoral Nerve-2 Block (PECS 2) in Breast Cancer Surgery.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06889870 (PECS II Blockade vs. Local Anesthesia), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the pectoral nerves interfacial plane block (PECS II) in breast cancer surgery focusing on postoperative pain management and patient satisfaction. A prospective study was conducted, including 200 patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery. The participants were randomly assigned to the PECS II block and control groups. The PECS II block group received a preoperative interfascial plane block, while the control group received standard analgesia. Postoperative pain scores at 4 h intervals for the first 3 postoperative days, as well as opioid consumption and patient-reported satisfaction, were measured and compared between both groups. The PECS II block group demonstrated significantly lower postoperative pain scores at all measured time points (
