Comparison of the analgesic efficacy of combined superficial and deep serratus anterior plane block versus pectoserratus plane block following modified radical mastectomy surgery.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundBoth the pectoserratus plane block and the combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block (CSAPB) are recognized as effective regional anesthesia methods for pain control. This research aims to assess the ability of two different nerve blocks to provide analgesia.
methodsThe study included 60 patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Participants were allocated into separate groups: Group P (Pectoserratus Plane Block) and Group S (CSAPB). The primary outcome was the tramadol consumption, while the secondary outcome was the assessment of pain levels.
resultsThe median (Q1, Q3) postoperative 24-hour tramadol consumption was 60 (60,80) mg in Group P and 60 (40,60) mg in Group S. (p = 0.006) Additionally, higher NRS scores were observed in group P at 2 and 4 h.
conclusionsIn this study, we found that the CSAPB and the pectoserratus plane block provided comparable analgesic efficacy in patients undergoing MRM. This approach may serve as an effective alternative to the pectoserratus plane block. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05961735.
