The Analgesic Effect of Infraspinatus Teres Minor Block in Scapular Fracture Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article 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
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of infraspinatus teres minor (ITM) block in scapular fracture (SFs) surgery. Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial was carried out on patients undergoing SFs surgery. These patients were randomly allocated to either receive an ultrasound-guided ITM block in conjunction with general anesthesia (ITM group) or a sham intervention along with general anesthesia (Sham group). The primary outcome measure was the postoperative pain intensity evaluated by the visual analog scale (VAS) at 0.5, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. Secondary outcome measures included intraoperative opioid utilization, postoperative analgesic needs, the time to the first rescue analgesia, QoR-15 scores, and alterations in diaphragmatic activity. Results: The ITM group showed significantly lower VAS Conclusion: The ITM block demonstrates significant analgesic effectiveness in scapular surgery and holds promise for broader application. Trial Registration: The study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn) on December 9, 2024, under registration number ChiCTR2400093589.
