Ultrasound-Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block Combined with Modified Parasternal Block in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Auricular Reconstruction Surgery Results in Superior Quality of Recovery Compared to a Standalone Serratus Anterior Plane Block.
Trial report in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSerratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and parasternal block (PSB) are used in multimodal analgesia strategies to improve postoperative comfort and recovery. Their combined effectiveness for pediatric auricular reconstruction (AR) patients needs clarification.
methodsA study was conducted on 100 children aged 8 to 12 undergoing autologous rib cartilage transplant in AR. Subjects were randomized into two groups: the ultrasound (US)-directed SAPB plus modified PSB group (SAPB+PSB group) and the US-guided SAPB alone group (SAPB group). The primary outcome was the 24 h postoperative Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score. The secondary endpoints were pain scores, surgical field bleeding scores, sufentanil consumption within 24 h post-surgery, the time to first ambulation, and incidence of complications.
resultsThe SAPB+PSB group demonstrated significantly higher scores in physical comfort, emotional status, and pain aspects on the QoR-15 scale compared to the SAPB group, the difference was significant (P ≤ 0.001). No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of psychological support and physical independence (P > 0.05). The total QoR-15 score was augmented among SAPB+PSB versus SAPB participants (P < 0.001). At 12 h, the SAPB+PSB group reported lower NRS scores than the SAPB group during rest (P < 0.001) and cough (P = 0.014). The sufentanil consumption at 24 h was substantially diminished among SAPB+PSB recipients (P < 0.001), and the time to first ambulation was shorter relative to the SAPB recipients, and the different was significant (P < 0.001).
conclusionUS-guided SAPB combined with modified PSB significantly enhances postoperative recovery quality in pediatric patients undergoing AR, effectively improving postoperative comfort and facilitating recovery.
