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
Purpose: To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided single right stellate ganglion block (SGB) on postoperative first night sleep in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Methods: This study included 120 participants who underwent maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia from 11 April 2023 to 31 August 2024. These participants were divided into three groups, namely blank control group, 1% lidocaine group, and 2% lidocaine group, with 40 patients in each group. Their blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and the visual analog scale (VAS) scores were recorded before the operation (baseline), immediately after awakening, immediately after arrival at the anesthesia intensive care unit (AICU), 1 h after arrival at the AICU, and 2 h after arrival at the AICU. The Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) was used to evaluate the sleep quality in the three patient groups on the first night after surgery. Complications associated with SGB and the number of sedative analgesic medication doses supplemented on the first postoperative night were recorded. Results: The RCSQ scores of the blank control group, 1% lidocaine group, and 2% lidocaine group were 44.5 (33.3, 62.0), 67.0 (54.0, 87.9), and 96.0 (65.8, 100.0), respectively, and the scores gradually increased (comparison among three groups: Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided single right SGB effectively improved the quality of postoperative first night sleep according to RCSQ and reduced stress reactions within 2 h in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Notably, the efficacy of 4 mL of 2% lidocaine was superior to that of 4 mL of 1% lidocaine, making it a safe and effective method for improving postoperative sleep.
