Continuous Interscalene Nerve Block for a Midshaft Clavicle Fracture: An Opioid-Sparing Postoperative Analgesic Strategy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Postoperative pain after surgical clavicle fixation is difficult to treat and often responds incompletely to opioid analgesics. Unfavorable side effects and the risk of misuse of opioid analgesics make regional anesthetic techniques an attractive strategy for treating clavicular pain. Literature on continuous nerve blocks with catheter placement for more prolonged pain control for clavicle fractures is scarce, while such techniques are common for other shoulder surgeries. This case report presents a successful continuous interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) after surgical fixation of a midshaft clavicle fracture. The patient was discharged home on the day of the operation with a portable pump, which provided a local anesthetic infusion for five days postoperatively. The patient was very satisfied with her pain control and only required one dose of oral opioid analgesic postoperatively.
