Effect of Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anaesthesia: A Prospective 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Acute pain after cesarean section (CS) can affect the quality of life of patients. This study aimed to assess the impact of bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) under spinal anaesthesia on postoperative pain, analgesic usage, and patient satisfaction in elective CS. Methods: A total of 116 ASA II females aged 18-45 years who had elective CS were included in this prospective randomized study. Adjusted for the patient's height and weight, 0.5% bupivacaine and 12.5 μg fentanyl were administered for spinal anaesthesia. In the ESPB group, ultrasonography-guided ESPB with 10 mL 0.5% bupivacaine+10 mL saline was applied bilaterally at the T12 vertebrae level at the end of the surgery. Postoperative analgesia was planned with diclofenac and paracetamol. Patients' satisfaction, analgesic usage, rest, movement, cough, and low back pain were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative hours 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24. The extent of the sensory block level of ESPB was evaluated after the spinal anaesthesia had worn off. Results: The analysis included 49 patients in the ESPB group and 50 in the control group with comparable demographics. Rest, movement, and cough VAS scores were substantially lower at the 2 Conclusion: As a safe component of multimodal analgesia following CS, bilateral ESPB can be effectively performed.
