1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental health condition that often develops after exposure to traumatic events. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been shown to alleviate PTSD symptoms, suggesting its potential as a preventive intervention, particularly in patients undergoing emergency ocular trauma surgery. However, the efficacy of SGB in preventing the onset of PTSD has not been clearly established. Methods: This dual-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 300 adult patients undergoing emergency ocular trauma surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio and stratified by age (<65 or ≥65 years), to either the SGB group or the placebo group ( Discussion: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGB for the prevention of PTSD in patients undergoing emergency ocular trauma surgery. Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2500102717, www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=270046.
