Opioid-free anesthesia in enhanced recovery after surgery for gastrointestinal surgery: current status, challenges, and prospects.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has been increasing implementation in gastrointestinal surgeries to optimize perioperative management, mitigate surgical stress responses, and accelerate patient recovery. Although opioid-based anesthesia effectively alleviates pain, it is associated with significant adverse effects, including postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), respiratory depression, and intestinal paralysis, which can impeder early recovery. Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is designed to alleviate these concerns. This article examines the pharmacological agents and regional block techniques commonly employed in OFA, emphasizing its role in promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improving pain management, reducing adverse events, and enhancing patient satisfaction.
