Combination of ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block and local infiltration for oromaxillofacial surgeries: a case series.

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
Introduction: When elderly patients have underlying diseases combined with oromaxillofacial diseases requiring surgical treatment, the application of conventional general anesthesia (GA) for oromaxillofacial surgical diseases has become a risk due to underlying disease reasons. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) anesthesia combined with local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) for partial oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) in patients who with risk for GA due to underlying disease. Methods: The clinical data of 7 high risk patients with OMFS treated with SCPB anesthesia combined with LIA were retrospectively analyzed. All seven surgeries were performed on one side of the neck. All patients were given ultrasound-guided SCPB anesthesia by the same anesthesiologist, LIA by the same surgeon, and surgery was performed under continuous Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Results: Seven patients had stable vital signs and no significant postoperative complications. The results of this study indicated that SCPB anesthesia combined with LIA is a safe and effective anesthesia technique with a high success rate and patient tolerance. Discussion: For patients with OMFS who have a risk for GA due to underlying diseases, ultrasound-guided cervical superficial plexus block anesthesia combined with LIA is a safe and effective alternative to conventional GA.
