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

Artificial intelligence has now changed regional anesthesia, facilitating, therefore, the application of the regional block under the USG guidance. Innovative technological solutions make it possible to highlight specific anatomical structures in the USG image in real time, as needed for regional block. This contribution presents such technological solutions as U-Net architecture, BPSegData and Nerveblox and the basis for independent assisting systems in the use of regional blocks, e.g., ScanNav Anatomy PNB or the training system NeedleTrainer. The article describes also the systems integrated with the USG devices, such as Mindray SmartNerve or GE cNerve as well as the robotic system Magellan which substantially increases the patient's safety, time needed for the regional block and quality of the procedure. All the solutions presented in this article facilitate the performance of regional blocks by less experienced physicians and appear as an excellent educational tool which, at the same time, improves the availability of the more and more popular regional anesthesia. Will, therefore, artificial intelligence replace physicians in regional block procedures? This seems unlikely. It will, however, assist them in a significant manner, contributing to better effectiveness and improved safety of the patient.
