Assessment of Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Management in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Under General Anaesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCY), although a routine minimal invasive surgery, still leads to considerable pain post-operatively, especially in first 24 hours. Regional anaesthesia like erector spinae plane (ESP) and subcostal TAP (STAP) blocks are used to reduce this pain, but limited data exists comparing them directly in LCY patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I/II patients (aged 18-75) undergoing LCY under general anaesthesia were randomly divided into ESP and STAP groups ( Results: ESP group had significantly longer analgesia (671.39 ± 41.77 min) compared to STAP (535.50 ± 230.28 min), with Conclusion: The ESP block showed more effective and longer pain relief than STAP block in LCY patients. Hence, ESP may be preferred for better post-op pain control in similar settings.
