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

The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is a new ultrasound-guided regional technique for clavicular surgery that spares phrenic nerve function, an important advantage over interscalene approaches. We describe three cases spanning very different risk profiles: a paediatric trauma patient, an octogenarian with significant pulmonary and renal disease, and a young trauma patient, all managed with clavicle fixation using CPB as the sole anaesthetic, without general anaesthesia. Each case proceeded with stable haemodynamics and no perioperative complications. These outcomes suggest CPB may offer a safer alternative for patients where phrenic nerve preservation or avoidance of general anaesthesia carries real clinical weight.
