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

purposeThis prospective, randomized, double-blind study compared the analgesic efficacy and safety of parecoxib sodium versus lornoxicam and diclofenac, after Lichtenstein tension-free mesh inguinal hernia repair.

methodsPatients were randomly assigned to receive parecoxib 80 mg daily i.v. (Group A), lornoxicam 16 mg daily i.v. (Group B) or diclofenac 150 mg daily i.m. (Group C). Rescue analgesia in all groups consisted of pethidine 25 mg i.m. Pain was measured with an analogue scale (pain intensity score).

resultsPatients treated with parecoxib 80 mg reported significantly lower summed pain intensity scores compared with lornoxicam and diclofenac-treated patients. Duration of analgesia was also significantly longer with parecoxib than with lornoxicam and diclofenac. Adverse events were significantly less common in the parecoxib and lornoxicam group, compared with diclofenac group.

conclusionsMultiple-day administration of parecoxib 40 mg twice daily is more effective than equivalent doses of lornoxicam and diclofenac, and generally better tolerated than diclofenac after Lichtenstein tension-free mesh inguinal hernia repair.
