Effects of Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerves Block Through Pericondrial Approach on Postoperative Pulmonary Functions in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundWe aimed to evaluate the effects of modified thoracoabdominal nerve block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) block on respiratory dysfunction after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with obesity.
methodsIn this prospective randomized-controlled study, 60 patients aged 18-65 years and ASA PS II-III were included. Patients were divided into two groups: group M-TAPA (n = 30) and group control (n = 30). The primary outcome was the results of spirometric respiratory function tests. The secondary outcomes were total opioid consumption, postoperative resting, dynamic pain scores, and assessing the functional recovery via quality of recovery (QoR)-15 on postoperative day 1.
resultsThe FVC, FEV1, PEF, and predicted FEV1 values were significantly different between the groups, whereas the results were similar for FEV1/FVC values in the postoperative first hour. The decreases in FVC, FEV1, PEF, and predicted FEV1 values were higher in the group control. Total tramadol consumption at 0-24 h was significantly higher in the group control than in the group M-TAPA (group M-TAPA = 170 (0-300), group control = 220 (80-300); p = 0.013). Resting and dynamic NRS pain scores at the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 12th postoperative hours were significantly higher in the control group than in the M-TAPA group.
conclusionsThe M-TAPA block in patients with obesity undergoing LSG reduced postoperative respiratory dysfunction and opioid consumption.
