Ultrasound-Guided Thoracic Paravertebral, Erector Spinae Plane and Quadratus Lumborum Blocks During Emergency Laparotomy in Dogs: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 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
Emergency laparotomy is frequently performed in dogs with cardiovascular compromise, making perioperative anesthesia and nociceptive management particularly challenging. Although ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques have demonstrated opioid-sparing effects during elective procedures, evidence supporting their use in emergency surgery remains limited. Medical records of 61 client-owned dogs were reviewed, and 41 met the inclusion criteria. Dogs were retrospectively allocated to one of four groups according to the analgesic technique received: thoracic paravertebral (TPV, n = 12), erector spinae plane (ESP, n = 11), quadratus lumborum (QL, n = 7), or no regional anesthesia (comparison group, n = 11). All regional blocks were performed using ropivacaine. Total intraoperative fentanyl consumption differed significantly among groups (
