1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide the most recent update and summary on the consideration, benefits and application of regional anesthesia in the ICU setting, as it pertains to the management of perioperative pain. RECENT

findingsRegional anesthesia and analgesia have become ubiquitous in the perioperative setting, with numerous indications and benefits. As integral part of the multimodal analgesia approach, various regional blocks have been increasingly utilized in critically ill patients. We focus this review on various regional techniques employed for critically ill patients after cardiac, thoracic, and major abdominal surgery, including neuraxial and novel truncal blocks. Effective pain management in critically ill patients poses many challenges and is extremely important. Regional anesthesia, in combination with other analgesia modalities, while still under-utilized, can help reduce acute perioperative pain, stress response, opioid use and related side effects and expedite recovery and improve clinical outcomes.
