A Retrospective Comparative Study of Nerve-Stimulator Versus Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Regional blocks are the preferred choice in procedures like arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation involving the wrist or cubital fossa in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We compared ultrasonography versus peripheral nerve stimulator-guided supraclavicular block to identify the non-inferior technique in these patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included 60 ESRD patients at the largest tertiary medical care centre of its kind in the world. Of these, 30 received the ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block (Group US), while the other 30 received it with the peripheral nerve stimulator technique (Group NS). Statistical analysis was done using GraphPad PRISM 10.0.0 software. Results: A significant difference was noted in the block execution time, onset and duration of sensory and motor block, and time to achieve a complete block in both groups. Conclusion: Ultrasound with nerve stimulator appears to be the technique of choice in ESRD patients.
