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 erector spinae plane (ESP) block, initially designed for thoracic analgesia, has evolved into a versatile regional anesthesia technique with literature support for success in numerous contexts. In this case report, we highlight the successful application of ESP to provide postoperative analgesia for pediatric Dega osteotomy involving both the femoral head and acetabulum, in a patient with numerous neurological comorbidities that would have weighed against some more traditional regional anesthesia techniques. This case further highlights the versatility of ESP, demonstrating its use in blocking lumbar nerve roots in a pediatric patient with complex neurological challenges.
