Effect of sevoflurane combined with intercostal block on postoperative pulmonary function, opioid consumption, and stress response in lung cancer surgery patients.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 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
objectiveTo investigate the efficacy of sevoflurane combined with intercostal block in lung cancer surgery.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 252 patients who underwent lung cancer surgery between January 2020 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the sevoflurane with intercostal block group (Group S, n = 108) and the propofol group (Group P, n = 144). Anesthesia protocols involved sevoflurane and intercostal nerve block or propofol. Postoperative pulmonary function, opioid consumption, stress response, and cognitive effects were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe VAS scores were significantly lower in Group S at postoperative 2 h (1.96 ± 0.52 vs 2.15 ± 0.56,
conclusionSevoflurane combined with intercostal block outperforms propofol in enhancing postoperative pulmonary function, reducing opioid reliance, and modulating stress responses in lung cancer surgery patients.
