Perioperative pain relief in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A randomised trial of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block compared to peri-tubal anaesthetic infiltration.

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
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare peri-tubal local anaesthetic (LA) infiltration with ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as an analgesic technique for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgeries. The study hypothesised that patients receiving ESPB would require postoperative rescue analgesics later as compared to those receiving LA infiltration. Methods: The study is a prospective, single-blinded, randomised clinical trial. Fifty-two adult patients undergoing unilateral PCNL were randomly allocated into the ESPB group ( Results: The mean (standard deviation) time to first analgesia was 2.3 (0.48) h in the LA infiltration group and 20.7 (6.1) h in the ESPB group, with a difference in means of - 18.4 h (99% confidence interval, -21.8 to - 14.9; Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided ESPB provides superior perioperative analgesia compared to peri-tubal LA infiltration in PCNL surgeries, offering significantly improved pain relief during movement in the ESPB group.
