Periarticular multimodal drug injection in total knee arthroplasty.
Synthesis in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
purposeA systematic review and meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted to evaluate the efficiency and safety of periarticular multimodal drug injection in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsPeriarticular injection with the use of multimodal drugs is an efficient alternative for postoperative analgesia in TKA. A systematical electronic search was performed to identify the eligible RCTs in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. Two independent reviewers completed data collection and assessment of methodological quality. The quality of evidence of outcomes was judged using GRADE criteria. Meta-analysis was performed for the outcomes of pain, straight leg raise, operating time, hospital stay and complications.
resultsTen RCTs including eight studies with 1,216 TKAs in 835 patients met the inclusion criteria. Periarticular injection with multimodal drugs in TKA was associated with short-term benefits in terms of pain relief, straight leg raise, narcotic consumption, and the rates of nausea, vomiting, rash and pruritus. There were no statistically significant differences in operating time, hospital stay, wound complications and deep vein thrombosis between both groups.
conclusionsThe current evidence suggests that periarticular multimodal drug injection in TKA provides short-term advantages in pain relief, straight leg raise and postoperative complications.
