Efficacy of ultrasound-guided suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block on emergence agitation and postoperative analgesia after septorhinoplasty: A prospective randomized 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
Background and Aims: Emergence agitation (EA) is frequently encountered following nasal surgeries, and postoperative pain is a significant contributing element. We aimed to assess the role of suprazygomatic maxillary nerve (MN) block (SMB) guided by ultrasound (US) in lowering EA incidence and enhancing analgesia quality in septorhinoplasty cases. Material and Methods: Sixty cases aged 18-60 years, of both genders, categorized by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II and listed for septorhinoplasty, were randomized to receive general anesthesia (GA) with either no block (the control group) or combined with bilateral US-guided SMB (the SMB group). The incidence of EA, postoperative pain scores, total rescue 24-hour analgesic consumption, and incidence of adverse events were all noted. Results: EA incidence was significantly reduced in the SMB group than in the control group (five patients (16.7%) vs 14 patients (46.6%), respectively; Conclusions: Preemptive application of US-guided SMB was effective in lowering EA incidence. Furthermore, it enhanced the analgesic quality and reduced the requirement for rescue analgesics in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty.
