A Randomized Comparison Between Interscalene and Combined Interscalene-Suprascapular Blocks for Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A Prospective Clinical Study.
Trial report in Journal of pain research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: To compare the analgesic effect of ISB with a combination of ISB-SSNB and patients who were given opioids with PCA without block in adult patients undergoing shoulder surgery, as measured by opioid consumption and pain intensity in the first 24 hours postoperatively. Methods: Ninety patients who underwent shoulder surgery were randomly divided into three groups. Group I in which ISB was performed and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) was inserted, Group II with; ISB and SSNB combined, and PCA was inserted, and Group III where; only PCA was used. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores at the second, fourth, sixth, 12th, and 24th hours, morphine consumption, additional analgesic requirement, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Results: Compared with Group III, the VAS pain score was significantly lower in Group I and Group II at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. In Group I, the VAS score at rest at the 6th hour was found to be higher than in Group II. The 24-hour total morphine consumption was higher in the control group than in Group I and Group II. The satisfaction score of the control group was lower than Group I and Group II. Conclusion: The combined application of ISB and SSNB block is beneficial in shoulder surgery to provide both intraoperative and postoperative analgesia and opioid consumption. Level of Evidence: Level I; Randomized Controlled Trial; Treatment Study.
