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

Objective: Compare the effects of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in perioperative pain management for thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods: From September 2024 to June 2025, 99 patients with pulmonary space-occupying lesions scheduled for thoracoscopic lobectomy were enrolled and randomly assigned to three groups (33 each): the control group, the ESPB group, and the TPVB group. Baseline data covered gender, age, body mass index, tumor-node-metastasis stage, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, surgery duration, and resection site. Primary outcomes were resting and coughing visual analogue scale (VAS) scores in the postanesthesia care unit at 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), adverse reactions, opioid consumption, time to first ambulation, hospital stay, and drainage tube duration. Results: Baseline data were comparable. ESPB and TPVB groups had lower VAS scores and area under curve (AUC) than the control group ( Conclusion: Both TPVB and ESPB can effectively relieve postoperative pain, reduce stress responses, and shorten recovery time after thoracoscopic lobectomy. TPVB offers better early analgesia and hemodynamic stability. Clinical trial registration: www.chictr.org.cn, Identifier, ChiCTR2100054074, 2021/12/08.
