Timing of Epidural Placement After an Epidural Blood Patch.
Article in Case reports in anesthesiology, 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
Epidural placement is a mainstay in the pain management of patients undergoing brachytherapy treatment of cervical cancer. A significant number of patients undergo multiple treatment cycles over the course of several weeks, necessitating repeated neuraxial catheter placements. This increases the risk of complications, including postdural puncture headaches, which may require further neuraxial instrumentation for the administration of an epidural blood patch. We present the case of a patient who received an epidural blood patch for postdural puncture headache in the middle of her brachytherapy treatment series. There is limited literature addressing the optimal timing for subsequent epidural catheter placement after an epidural blood patch.
