Evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery score in radical prostatectomy with erector spinae plane block: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05853133 (Evaluation of Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score in Radical Prostatectomy Cases With Erector Spinae Plane Block and Wound Infiltration), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundRadical prostatectomy (RP) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative dynamic pain. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on postoperative Quality of Recovery (QoR), opioid consumption and pain scores in patients who underwent open RP.
methodsThis prospective randomized controlled study included 52 patients who underwent open RP. Patients were randomized into Group E (n = 26) with ESPB and Group W (n = 26) with wound infiltration. Patient QoR was measured preoperatively and postoperatively using a 40-item QoR-40 questionnaire. Additionally, tramadol consumption, nausea and vomiting, visual analog scale (VAS), sedation, and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated.
resultsThe preoperative and postoperative results of the global QoR-40 questionnaire were statistically similar between the groups (p = 0.407). Postoperative VASRest and VASMovement were similar between the groups (p = 0.313 and p = 0.161, respectively). Tramadol consumption was lower in Group E at 2 and 24 h (p = 0.035 and p = 0.017, respectively). Intraoperative remifentanil consumption was significantly lower in Group E (p = 0.005). Complications, such as intraoperative bradycardia, hypotension, and bradycardia-hypotension, were more common in Group E (p = 0.001). Postoperatively, complications such as sedation, nausea, and vomiting, and the need for antiemetics were similar between the groups.
conclusionESPB did not improve the quality of postoperative recovery in patients who underwent RP. However, ESPB reduced opioid consumption while postoperative pain scores remained similar.
