Efficacy of erector spinae plane block versus intravenous tramadol for pain management in acute pancreatitis: A randomized controlled study.
Article in Turkish journal of emergency medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesEfficient pain control is important for patients with acute pancreatitis who visit the emergency department (ED). In this randomized controlled trial, the efficacy of erector spinae plane (ESP) block compared to intravenous tramadol was determined to provide effective pain relief in patients with acute pancreatitis in the ED.
methodsA single-blind randomized controlled study was conducted in the ED enrolling 18-70 years old patients with acute pancreatitis and a numerical rating scale score of > 4/10. Fifty patients were allocated to two different groups: the control group received IV tramadol (1 mg/kg every 6 h) and the ESP group received an ESP block with ropivacaine 0.375% (40 mL). Both groups received fentanyl (1 µg/kg) for rescue analgesia. Pain scores, hemodynamic parameters, and rescue analgesia were assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS v20, utilizing
resultsBaseline demographics were similar between the ESP and control groups (age 41.56 ± 11.85 vs. 43.68 ± 11.55 years,
conclusionESP block offers better pain relief and hemodynamic stability than IV tramadol in patients with acute pancreatitis, with significantly decreased opioid needs.
