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

backgroundProvision of sufficient perioperative pain therapy is an obligation in the clinical management of patients suffering from pain. The implementation of a standardized pain management concept was planned to be introduced in the clinical routine. The results of three hospitals are shown. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe concept included tools which gave information about legal aspects and basic fundamentals of pain relief, management modules regarding agreements on the implementation of perioperative pain therapy, instruments to measure pain intensity, assigning accountability and documentation modules. Questionnaires were carried out according to Picker.

resultsThe project revealed that, according to the Picker questionnaire, about 50% of the patients treated in the hospitals had pain, 30-40% still had intensive pain during the stay in hospital and 90% of the patients received pain relief medication within 10 min of the request. More than 78% of the patients thought the hospital staff did their best to relieve the pain and over 92% found the pain treatment adequate.

conclusionIt was possible to implement a standardized perioperative pain therapy concept in three hospitals of a consortium. Whether an adequate pain relief can be improved with the help of standard measurements and documentation, could not be evaluated in this study.
