Effectiveness of Non-Pharmacological Interventions on Postoperative Pain in Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and NMA Protocol.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2026. 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
Background and Purpose: Postoperative pain is common in gastric cancer patients and may affect recovery and quality of life. While opioids are widely used, non-pharmacological interventions have emerged as potential alternatives. However, their relative effectiveness remains unclear. Therefore, this protocol describes a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to evaluate and rank non-pharmacological interventions for postoperative pain in gastric cancer patients. Methods: Nine electronic databases will be searched up to February 2026. Randomized controlled trials comparing non-pharmacological interventions for postoperative pain will be included. Primary outcomes will be pain intensity; secondary outcomes will include analgesic consumption, quality of life, and adverse events. Results: Through this network meta-analysis protocol, we will directly and indirectly compare all non-pharmacological nursing interventions and rank their probability of effectiveness. We expect to identify the most effective non-pharmacological or combination of interventions for postoperative pain in gastric cancer patients. Conclusion: This review aims to summarize available evidence and inform the selection of non-pharmacological pain management strategies for gastric cancer patients.
