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

backgroundRegional anesthetic techniques are becoming increasingly more common for a variety of surgeries. Current literature regarding regional anesthesia for breast surgery also involves sedation or general anesthesia (GA). CASE: A 53 year old female underwent wide local excision breast surgery and sentinel node biopsy under combined thoracic paravertebral block and pectoralis nerve I and II block without concurrent sedation or GA.

conclusionsThis case report demonstrates patient acceptability for completely awake breast surgery with good surgical conditions. This technique could be used for high risk or motivated patients where a GA and its associated complications could be avoided.
