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: This study evaluated whether oxycodone alone could substitute for fentanyl combined with remifentanil for general anesthesia in laparoscopic uterine myoma surgery. Patients and Methods: 90 adult female patients were randomized into three groups: oxycodone 0.35 mg/kg (Group A), oxycodone 0.30 mg/kg (Group B), or fentanyl 5 μg/kg (Group C) for induction. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol plus saline (Groups A/B) or remifentanil (Group C). Primary outcomes included Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Secondary outcomes were intubation reaction, vital signs, extubation/PACU times, Ramsey Sedation Scores (RSS) in PACU, NRS pain scores and adverse events within 48 hours postoperatively. Results: Intubation reactions were rare (one case each in Groups B/C, none in Group A). Group B had significantly lower PACU NRS scores than Group C (0.6 ± 0.7 vs 1.3 ± 1.4, P = 0.011), while Group A showed a nonsignificant trend (0.8 ± 0.9 vs 1.3 ± 1.4, P = 0.051). RSS scores, extubation/PACU times, and 48-hour NRS scores were comparable. However, oxycodone groups had longer postoperative evacuation times than fentanyl group (Group A vs Group C: 20.0 ± 7.3 hours vs 16.5 ± 5.1 hours, P=0.038; Group B vs Group C: 20.3 ± 8.2 hours vs 16.5 ± 5.1 hours, P=0.034). Conclusion: Oxycodone alone provides superior early postoperative analgesia compared to fentanyl-remifentanil in laparoscopic myoma surgery but may delay bowel recovery.
