Effect of Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block on the Gastrointestinal Function in Patients Undergoing Traumatic Lumbar Spine Fracture surgery: A Retrospective Study.

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
Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to explore the effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on the gastrointestinal function in patients after traumatic lumbar fracture surgery and the effects of different levels of block approach. Patients and Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed from electronic medical records of patients who underwent traumatic lumbar spine fracture surgery (September 2022-June 2023). Eligible patients were divided into three groups: group L (bilateral ESPB at L3 level), group T (bilateral ESPB at T12 level) and group C (no block). The primary outcomes were the incidence and the time of occurrence postoperative bloating. We also recorded the time of the first flatus and bowel movement, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), gastrointestinal medications, enema, intraoperative opioid dosage, number of rescue analgesia within 48 h postoperatively, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 24 h and 48 h postoperatively, inflammatory mediators, complications and hospital length of stay (LOS). Results: 145 patients were included, including 32 in group L, 33 in group T and 80 in group C. Patients in group L and T experienced less bloating compared to group C ( Conclusion: Bilateral ESPB improved postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients with traumatic lumbar spine fracture, where the T12 level of ESPB was more favorable than the L3 level.
