Perioperative Sympathetic Blockade: Mechanisms and Clinical Advances in Sensory Processing Modulation - A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of pain research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Surgical trauma can trigger abnormal sensory processing, which plays a central role in driving pathophysiological changes during the perioperative period. In this review, we re-examine the mechanism of sympathetic nerve blockade and suggest that its essential function may involve actively resetting the maladaptive sensory signaling pathways through multi-system interactions. We explore how the sympathetic nervous system regulates sensory input through multiple layered processes-such as sympathetic-sensory coupling, neuro-immune-endocrine interactions, and microcirculatory metabolic adjustments. The analysis further describes how nerve block techniques, including stellate ganglion block and lumbar sympathetic block, interact within these networks to produce broad therapeutic outcomes-from pain relief and stress modulation to organ protection. Finally, we highlight potential future advances in precision-oriented sympathetic intervention, guided by neural circuit mapping, biomarker monitoring, and artificial intelligence.
