The analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in BMC anesthesiology, 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
introductionThe analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for postoperative analgesia after percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).
methodsWe searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing analgesic efficacy of ESPB for PCNL are included in this meta-analysis.The related trials met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using RevMan 5.4 and GRADE pro software.
resultsNine RCTs are included in the meta-analysis showed that ESPB group had significantly lower requirement of opioid consumption (MD-20.66 ,95% CI -34.84 to-6.49;P<0.00001),lower pain scores with ESPB use throughout the 24-hour postop period(MD -0.56,95% CI -0.90 to -0.22;P=0.001) and longer the first rescue time in minutes(MD52.68, 95% CI 8.66 to 96.7,P=0.02) ,in hours (MD11.76, 95% CI 5.59 to 17.92, P=0.0002),respectively.
conclusionThe available evidence suggests that ESPB was an efficient and safe procedure for postoperative pain management in PCNL.
