Opioid-free anaesthesia as a valuable alternative to opioid-based practices: evidence and future challenges.
Review in Pain management, 2025. 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
Opioid-Free-Anesthesia (OFA) offers a valuable alternative model that challenges traditional opioid-based anesthesia practices. Recent studies have tempered expectations regarding the capacity of OFA techniques to improve quality of postoperative pain management and early recovery, in contrast with the clearly decreased risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Essentially based on regional anesthesia, non-opioid adjuvants and multimodal analgesia, OFA should be better viewed as a menu rather than a recipe, guided by surgical invasiveness, patient background, expected postoperative pain, and the practitioner's expertise. Potential concerns of OFA, including bradycardia and hypotension, are manageable with proper training and adapted dosing. Further multicentre trials and non-inferiority studies are needed to better define OFA's impact on patient-reported outcome and experiences measures in perioperative care.
