Bilateral Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block Through a Perichondrial Approach in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Randomized Single-Blind Controlled Trial.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Modified thoracoabdominal nerve block with a perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) provides effective analgesia in the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal regions. Previous studies have shown the efficacy of M-TAPA in laparoscopic surgery. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of M-TAPA block in patients undergoing open major abdominal surgery. Methods: This study was designed as a prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled study. A total of 43 patients were included in the study. In group M-TAPA, the block was performed bilaterally at the end of the surgery. Local wound infiltration was performed on the control group. Postoperative analgesia was provided with patient-controlled intravenous morphine. When numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores exceeded 4, rescue analgesia with tramadol was administered. The primary outcome of this study was to compare the 24-hour total morphine consumption. The secondary outcomes included comparing pain scores, rescue analgesia requirements, and patient satisfaction. Results: Regarding our primary outcome, median morphine consumption during the first 24 hours was lower in the M-TAPA group [16 (14-18)] than in the control group [24.5 (19.5-27)] ( Conclusion: The M-TAPA block is an effective abdominal wall block that can be considered part of multimodal analgesia in open major abdominal surgery.
