Ultrasound‑guided erector spinae plane block in posterior lumbar surgery (Review).
Review in Biomedical reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06801574 (EVALUATION OF POSTOPERATIVE EFFECT OF THREE DIFFERENT ANALGESIC TECHNIQUES IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LUMBAR FIXATION SURGERY USING SALIVARY OPIORPHIN LEVEL), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel fascial planar block technique, which is used to reduce postoperative pain in several surgical procedures, including breast, thoracic, spine and hip surgery. Due to its recognizable anatomy and low complication rate, the application of ESPB has been significantly increased. However, it is rarely used in clinical practice for postoperative analgesia after posterior lumbar spine surgery, while the choice of adjuvant drugs, block levels and drug doses remain controversial. Based on the current literature review, ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine could be considered as the best available drug combination. The present review aimed to analyze the currently available clinical evidence and summarize the benefits and challenges of ESPB in spinal surgery, thus providing novel insights into the application of ESPB in the postoperative management of posterior lumbar surgery.
