Erector Spinae Plane Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine for Cervical Spine Surgery.

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
Regional anesthesia for spine surgery is a relatively new and evolving area. Erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB) are a type of regional technique that has successfully managed acute postoperative pain in thoracic and lumbar spine surgeries. Using ESPB in cervical spine surgeries has shown to reduce intraoperative opioid needs and improve postoperative pain control, among other benefits. Liposomal bupivacaine has been shown potential in managing acute postoperative pain when injected at the surgical incision site. There is limited research on using liposomal bupivacaine in cervical spine surgery, especially with ESPB. We present a case of ESPB for cervical spine surgery performed successfully with liposomal bupivacaine.
