Intraoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided subcostal oblique transversus abdominis plane block for the Mercedes incision in dogs undergoing hepatectomy.

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
We retrospectively investigated the opioid-sparing effect of the oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane (SCTAP) block with bupivacaine in dogs undergoing open hepatectomy via the Mercedes incision. Remifentanil was used for intraoperative analgesia. The SCTAP block was performed using 0.125% bupivacaine in the TAP group, and dogs that did not receive the nerve block were assigned to the control group. The remifentanil dose was significantly lower in the TAP group than in the control group. The number of dogs that received fentanyl as rescue analgesia was significantly lower in the TAP group than in the control group. The ultrasound-guided SCTAP block with bupivacaine may substantially reduce the intraoperative dose of opioid analgesics in dogs undergoing open hepatectomy via the Mercedes incision.
