Response to comments on "Effect of postoperative peripheral nerve blocks on the analgesia nociception index under propofol anesthesia: an observational study."
Article in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tanaka et al. suggested that the increase in high-frequency variability index (HFVI) after peripheral nerve block (PNB) may result from autonomic effects mediated by the stellate ganglion block when an interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) is performed. To investigate this, we analyzed patients receiving PNB with (ISB group; n = 8) or without ISB (non-ISB group; n = 22). HFVI increased significantly in both groups to a similar extent. These findings suggest that ISB's direct autonomic influence on HFVI is minimal. Additionally, laterality effects could not be assessed due to limited cases. We conclude that HFVI elevation is more likely due to PNB's analgesic effects rather than ISB's autonomic influence. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
