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

backgroundEffective pain management after radical gastrectomy is crucial for patient recovery. With the promotion of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, postoperative pain management has become a core component of perioperative care. However, controversy remains regarding the optimal frequency of analgesic titration for pain control.

aimTo compare the efficacy of 12-hour

methodsThis retrospective comparative study analyzed data from 120 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy between January 2021 and December 2022, with 52 patients receiving a 12-hour titration regimen and 68 patients receiving a 24-hour titration regimen. All patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia containing sufentanil and tropisetron postoperatively with identical initial settings.

resultsThe 12-hour titration group demonstrated significantly lower pain scores at 12 hours postoperatively compared to the 24-hour group (3.2

conclusionCompared to the 24-hour titration regimen, the 12-hour titration regimen provided more effective control of early postoperative pain after radical gastrectomy, reduced total analgesic consumption, lowered the incidence of related adverse reactions, improved patient satisfaction, and shortened hospital stays.
