The evolving role of truncal fascial plane blocks in non-surgical pain therapy: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Truncal fascial plane blocks (TFPBs), including erector spinae plane block (ESPB), quadratus lumborum block (QLB), transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB), and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), are regional anesthesia techniques that achieves analgesia by injecting local anesthetics into a specific fascial planes of the trunk, which is primarily used for postoperative pain management or multimodal analgesia regimens. TFPBs reduce surgical site pain by blocking nerve conduction while decreasing reliance on systemic analgesics, such as opioids. This narrative review evaluates the analgesic efficacy and mechanisms of TFPB in non-surgical pain management, exploring their clinical value and future development prospects.
