[Costs of patient controlled analgesia in postoperative pain management in Germany].
Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThis systematic literature review was conducted to analyze the costs of postoperative patient controlled analgesia (PCA) in Germany.
methodsThe literature search comprised the search criteria "therapeutic procedure", "postoperative pain management", the routes of administration "intravenous PCA" (PCIA) and "epidural PCA" (PCEA), as well as their corresponding costs and economic analyses.
resultsDue to differences in indications, calculated costs and medical expenses it was not possible to compare the results from the respective studies.
conclusionA critical examination of benefits and costs of therapeutic options in hospitals has become necessary with the implementation of the German DRG compensation system. This has created a substantial need for the optimization of resources and processes. There is an enormous demand for research on the costs for PCA in Germany. The identification of cost-driving factors is necessary to determine saving potentials and thereby develop new technologies for postoperative analgesia.
