1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 clinical characteristics of open hernia repair under local nerve block guided by ultrasound and epidural anesthesia under daytime surgery mode were compared and analyzed, and the safety, rationality and effectiveness of tension-free repair of inguinal hernia in elderly patients under local nerve block guided by ultrasound were discussed. The clinical data of 200 patients who underwent inguinal hernia day surgery in Liaocheng People's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2022 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 150 patients who underwent local anesthesia block surgery and 50 patients who underwent epidural surgery. The visual analog score of the ultrasound local anesthesia group was lower than that of the epidural surgery group at 4 h after operation. The time of getting out of bed and postoperative exhaust were shorter than those of epidural operation group. The recovery rate of unrestricted activity 2 weeks after surgery was higher than that in epidural surgery group (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative acute urinary retention between the two groups was lower in local ultrasound anesthesia group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The median follow-up time was 4(1-6) months, and the follow-up rate was 100%. Postoperative complications were seroma, wound infection, chronic pain and recurrence, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups (P > 0.05). No serious complications occurred in both groups. Compared with open epidural surgery, ultrasound-guided local nerve block tension-free day surgery in the elderly has the advantages of less pain, faster recovery, and is safe and feasible.
