Enhancing patient comfort in varicose vein treatment through combined lidocaine and ropivacaine tumescent anesthesia.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the analgesic effects of specific tumescent anesthetic solutions composed of lidocaine, ropivacaine, or a combination of lidocaine and ropivacaine during endovenous radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of great saphenous vein varicosities. Method: This study included 149 patients with lower limb varicose veins who were admitted to our department between 2019 and 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups: the lidocaine group (Group I), the ropivacaine group (Group II), and the lidocaine + ropivacaine group (Group III). Intraoperative vital signs, intraoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, and long-term treatment outcomes were assessed using the venous clinical severity score (VCSS) based on clinical performance. Results: There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, operative time, or blood loss among the three groups ( Conclusion: The use of a tumescent anesthetic solution composed of lidocaine and ropivacaine significantly improved patient comfort during the perioperative period without affecting surgical outcomes. This formulation can be considered safe and reliable for preparing tumescent anesthesia solutions.
