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: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided one-puncture of rectus sheath block (RSB) combined with the transverse abdominis plane block (TAPB) for patients undergoing thoracoscopic-laparoscopic radical esophagectomy (TLE). Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study enrolled 40 patients aged from 50 to 80 years who were eligible for TLE. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups: intervention group (one-puncture of RSB combined with TAPB) and control group (traditional RSB and TAPB). The primary outcome was the duration of the nerve block procedure, and the secondary endpoints in this study included the convenience of the nerve block operation, sufentanil consumption, visual analog scale (VAS) scores at 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after surgery, the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS) score, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the first time of the need for rescue analgesic, time of first PCIA presses, the duration of the postoperative hospital stay, and the incidence of adverse reactions after surgery. Results: The duration of the nerve block procedure in the intervention group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (182.7 ± 13.9 s vs. 199.4 ± 10.9 s, Conclusion: The one-puncture of RSB combined with TAPB could provide sufficient analgesia for patients undergoing TLE, and reduce the duration of the nerve block procedure and enhance the convenience of the nerve block operation compared to the traditional RSB and TAPB.
