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

Post-operative pain control in children undergoing lower abdominal surgery remains a concern because single-shot caudal analgesia has limited duration. Therefore, it is of interest to compare ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block and caudal block in 70 children, with 35 patients each in Group-QL and Group-C. Baseline age and gender distribution were comparable between the groups, with p = 0.580 and p = 0.550 respectively, while time to first rescue analgesia was significantly longer in Group-QL than Group-C (9.60 ± 0.59 h versus 3.37 ± 0.49 h, p = 0.001). Thus, ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block provided longer overall Post-operative analgesia, with significant difference in FLACC score at selected Post-operative time points.
