Interpectoral and Pectoserratus Plane Block vs. Local Anesthetic Infiltration for Partial Mastectomy: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Trial report in Pain research & management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04824599 (Interpectoral and Pectoserratus Plane Block vs Local Anesthetic Infiltration for Partial Mastectomy - a Prospective Randomized Trial), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Patients undergoing breast surgery are at risk of severe postoperative pain. Several opioid-sparing strategies exist to alleviate this condition. Regional anesthesia has long been a part of perioperative pain management for these patients. Aim: This randomized study examined the benefits of interpectoral and pectoserratus plane block (IPP/PSP), also known as pectoralis nerve plain block, compared with advanced local anesthetic infiltration. Methods: We analyzed 57 patients undergoing partial mastectomy with sentinel node dissection. They received either an ultrasound-guided IPP/PSP block performed preoperatively by an anesthetist or local anesthetic infiltration performed by the surgeon before and during the surgery. Results: Pain measured with the numerical rating scale (NRS) indicated no statistically significant difference between the groups (IPP/PSP 1.67 vs. infiltration 1.97; Conclusions: Our study showed decreased intraoperative opioid use in the IPP/PSP group and no difference in postoperative pain scores up to 24 hours. Both groups reported low postoperative pain scores. This trial is registered with NCT04824599.
