Effect of an Interscalene Block Combined With Intravenous Dexamethasone on Pain After Rotator Cuff Repair.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Shoulder joint surgery is associated with severe postoperative pain, necessitating effective pain control methods. While interscalene block is a widely used technique for postoperative pain relief, its duration is limited, and rebound pain often occurs. Combining interscalene block with dexamethasone has shown promise in extending pain relief, but the relative effectiveness of intravenous versus mixed administration remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of intravenous dexamethasone combined with interscalene block on pain control after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Methodology A retrospective study was conducted on 73 ARCR patients who received general anesthesia and interscalene block between 2018 and 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: those receiving an interscalene block with intravenous dexamethasone (group D,
