1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Regional anesthesia techniques targeting articular nerve branches offer promising avenues for managing articular pain. This study developed and compared the success rates of an ultrasound-guided versus a blind pericapsular knee desensitization (PKD) technique in canine cadavers. In Phase I, gross dissection and ultrasound evaluations were performed in eight limbs to characterize the anatomy of the medial (MAN), lateral (LAN), and posterior (PAN) articular branches of the saphenous, common fibular, and tibial nerves, respectively, and to identify suitable anatomical and ultrasonographic landmarks. In Phase II, ultrasound-guided and blind PKD injections of a dye solution were randomly performed in 10 cadavers (20 limbs), followed by dissection and histological assessment of staining accuracy. The ultrasound-guided technique achieved a significantly higher overall success rate (96.7%) than the blind technique (73.3%;
