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

Objective: This study compares the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA, Group A), general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block and rectus sheath block (TAPB+RSB, Group B), and general anesthesia combined with quadratus lumborum block at the lateral supra-arcuate ligament (QLB-LSAL, Group C) on postoperative pain and recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial involving 120 patients (1:1:1 randomization). The primary outcome was the visual analog scale (VAS) score for oxytocin-induced uterine contraction pain at 24 hours postoperatively (T16). Secondary outcomes included postoperative analgesic efficacy, intraoperative anesthetic consumption, hemodynamics, recovery indicators, and adverse reactions. Results: Group C exhibited significantly lower oxytocin-induced contraction VAS scores than Groups B and A, with Group B also lower than A (all P<0.05). Postoperatively, Group C had the lowest resting/exercise VAS scores, analgesic pump presses, and rescue analgesia needs within 48 hours (P<0.05). Intraoperatively, Group C required the least propofol, remifentanil, and sufentanil, demonstrated superior hemodynamic stability, faster recovery/extubation, shorter PACU stays, better muscle strength, and higher QoR-15 scores (all P<0.05). PONV incidence was lower in Group C than A (P<0.05). No significant differences were found in patient demographics, operative/hospitalization time, or sleep quality, and no major block-related complications occurred. Conclusion: General anesthesia combined with QLB-LSAL can effectively alleviate postoperative uterine contraction pain, reduce the need for anesthetic drugs during and after surgery, promote early recovery, and does not increase the risk of complications, making it an optimized anesthesia protocol for laparoscopic myomectomy.
