A prospective randomized clinical trial on the differential effect of left versus right stellate ganglion block on perioperative stress response.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to investigate the differential effects of left versus right stellate ganglion block (SGB) on perioperative stress response.
methodsSixty patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into two groups, the left SGB (LSGB) group and the right SGB (RSGB) group. After routine general anesthesia, ultrasound-guided left or right SGB was performed 20 min before anesthesia induction in the LSGB and RSGB groups. The primary outcome was the difference in blood pressure and heart rate recorded at T1 (admission), T2 (before anesthesia induction), T3 (immediately after intubation), T4 (after pneumoperitoneum establishment), T5 (postoperative end), and T6 (exit). Serum cortisol levels measured at T1, T3, T4, and T6, and adverse reactions were regarded as secondary outcomes.
resultsThe heart rate at T2 and T3 in the RSGB group was sharply lower than that in the LSGB group (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in heart rate and blood pressure in the two groups at the other time points (P > 0.05). No significant differences were observed in serum cortisol levels and adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05).
conclusionRight SGB has a more significant short-term effect on heart rate reduction than left stellate ganglion block. Serum cortisol levels and adverse reactions were comparable between the two groups. CLINICAL TRIAL: The project was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100053789) on 2021/11/29.
