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

purpose of reviewPost-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) can slow patient recovery and extend hospital stays, making its management crucial for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Current consensus guidelines say little about how to prevent or manage PLSP. In this context, a multimodal approach to PLSP management that maybe extend beyond the pharmaceutical interventions currently employed. A variety of devices comprising both invasive and noninvasive approaches are available to patients, serving as adjuvants to analgesics. In this review, we explore the potential causes of PLSP. Additionally, by searching relevant databases and reviewing existing literature, we provide a comprehensive summary of current PLSP management strategies excluding analgesics. RECENT

findingsA total of 30 articles were reviewed. The review identified a number of different treatments for PLSP, including trendelenburg position, discharge of residual gas, pulmonary recruitment manoeuvre, low-pressure pneumoperitoneum and phrenic nerve block, among others. However, the inconsistencies in the study designs resulted in disparate conclusions. While the current studies provide valuable insights, there is a clear need for further research in this area.
