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.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) may impair the pulmonary function, which could be a substantial issue in individuals suffering from underlying lung disease or compromised lung function. Hence, several diaphragm-sparing methods have been used to avoid HDP after brachial plexus blocks. Although various studies have reported a lower incidence of HDP with costoclavicular block (CCB) compared to supraclavicular block (SCB), a systematic review and meta-analysis to confirm the potential benefits has not been done. Therefore, we analyzed the association of HDP with CCB and SCB. Material and Methods: The incidence of HDP was the primary outcome, and the change in diaphragmatic thickness fraction (DTF), change in hemidiaphragm excursion, and change in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were the secondary outcomes. Six full texts of the articles were selected in the systematic review and meta-analysis of 263 patients who received CCB and 269 patients who received SCB. Results: The incidence of HDP after CCB was significantly lower than that associated with SCB (16 vs. 115), risk difference: -0.41 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.48 to -0.34; Conclusion: The incidence of HDP after CCB was significantly lesser than that after SCB.
