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 and Aims: Regional anaesthesia for clavicle surgery focuses on site-specific nerve blocks to minimise the drug volume, prevent unnecessary nerve block, and reduce complications. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and dynamics of selectively blocking supraclavicular (SC) nerves and upper trunk (UT) of the brachial plexus (SCUT block) with clavipectoral fascial plane (CPF) block as a site-specific regional anaesthesia strategy for clavicle surgery. Methods: In this single-centre, double-blinded, randomised study, 50 patients undergoing clavicle surgeries were given either SCUT block or CPF block with SC nerve block under ultrasound guidance with 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine. The primary outcome was the total duration of analgesia. The secondary outcomes were onset of sensory blockade, motor impairment, degree of diaphragmatic excursion, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and patient satisfaction score. Statistical analysis included Student's Results: The mean duration of postoperative analgesia was 10.34 [standard deviation (SD): 1.20] h in the SCUT group and 8.45 (SD: 0.67) h in the CPF group ( Conclusion: The SCUT block and CPF block with SC nerve block are effective site-specific regional anaesthesia strategies for clavicle surgery.
