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

Thoracolumbar and lumbar hemilaminectomy in dogs requires effective perioperative analgesia. The erector spinae plane (ESP) and retromammillary (RM) blocks are ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques targeting the dorsal branches of spinal nerves, but comparative clinical data are lacking. This retrospective cohort study compared perioperative analgesic requirements and complication rates between ESP (n = 62) and RM (n = 207) blocks in client-owned dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy. The primary outcome was intraoperative opioid rescue analgesia; secondary outcomes included rescue analgesia using any analgesic agent, perioperative opioid consumption (expressed as morphine equivalents, mg kg
