Evaluation of USG-guided novel sacral erector spinae block for postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair: A randomized controlled trial.

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
Background and Aims: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been found to be simple, safe, and effective at thoracic and lumbar levels. There is no randomized controlled trial evaluating its effectiveness at sacral level. The present study was conducted to evaluate its effectiveness at sacral level for postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair. Material and Methods: Forty children of 2-7 years with ASA grade I or II were included. They were randomly allocated to one of the two groups of 20 patients each. After induction of general anesthesia, patients of group I were given ultrasound-guided sacral ESPB with 1 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine, and patients of group II were not given block. Postoperatively, pain was assessed using face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) scale at 0 hour, every 15 min up to 1 hour, every half an hour up to 2 hours, 2 hourly up to 12 hours, and at 18 Results: Mean postoperative paracetamol consumption was 360 ± 156.60 mg in group I and 997.50 ± 310.87 mg in group II ( Conclusion: Sacral ESPB has been found to be effective in reducing postoperative analgesic consumption in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair.
