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

The ultrasound-guided serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block is a newly introduced regional anesthesia technique that has shown promising results in adult patients undergoing uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resections and other thoracic procedures. However, its use in dorsal mass excisions has not yet been reported. In the reported case, a 66-year-old female patient received an SPSIP block for the surgical removal of a 7 cm lesion located in the upper scapular region. The surgery and postoperative period proceeded without complications, and the patient remained pain-free until discharge. This case underscores the SPSIP block's safety and effectiveness in providing postoperative analgesia for dorsal mass excision.
