Randomized controlled trial to compare post operative analgesia between ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum and erector spinae plane block in children undergoing pyeloplasty.

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
Background: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) have demonstrated efficacy in providing postoperative analgesia following abdominal surgeries. However, evidence regarding their effectiveness in pediatric renal surgeries remain limited. The present study aimed to compare the duration of postoperative analgesia between ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum and erector spinae plane blocks in children undergoing open pyeloplasty. Methods: Sixty children undergoing pyeloplasty, aged between 6 months and 7 years were randomized to receive ultrasound guided ESPB or QLB after induction of general anesthesia. Time to first rescue analgesia, total analgesic requirement, and time to perform the block were observed. Results: The time to first rescue analgesia was 1040 ± 99 min in QLB group as compared to 889 ± 67 min in ESPB group ( Conclusion: Ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block provides longer duration of postoperative analgesia with lesser total analgesic requirement as compared to erector spinae plane block in children undergoing pyeloplasty, with marginally longer time to administer quadratus lumborum block.
