Ultrasound-guided peribulbar block in dromedary camels: a descriptive cadaveric study.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSternal recumbent procedures in camels using a balanced combination of sedatives and analgesics are gaining increasing clinical importance. Ultrasound-guided peribulbar nerve block (UG-PB) has been previously described in dogs, horses, and humans for facial and ocular surgeries, offering a lower risk of complications than the ultrasound-guided retrobulbar nerve block (UG-RB). However, its application to dromedary camels remains unexplored.
objectiveTo describe and evaluate a novel supraorbital UG-PB technique in camel cadavers and compare its injection site accuracy with that of transpalpebral UG-RB using computed tomography (CT) imaging.
methodsTwelve fresh cadaveric camel heads were used. The supraorbital UG‒PB technique was performed in the right orbit, whereas the UG-RB technique was applied in the left orbit of each cadaver head. The placement and spread of the contrast medium were confirmed via CT imaging. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the success rates of each technique in achieving an accurate injection site placement.
resultsCompared with UG-RB (9/12), the UG-PB technique achieved 100% accuracy (12/12) for contrast medium placement. Three UG-RB injections resulted in extraconal contrast placement. Operator assessment indicated enhanced feasibility and clarity of anatomical visualization using the UG-PB approach.
conclusionsCompared with UG-RB, the UG-PB technique demonstrated superior accuracy in injection site placement. Its feasibility, precision, and potential safety advantages suggest its clinical applicability in ophthalmic procedures in camels. Further clinical studies are required to validate the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of this technique.
