Postoperative analgesia in morbid obesity.
Review in Obesity surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03355807 (Use of MgSO4 Reduced Opioid Consumption for Pain After Sleeve Gastrectomy Operations), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Morbidly obese patients due to high incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are predisposed to opioid induced airway obstruction and thus frontline high ceiling analgesics (opioids) have concerns based on safety in their liberal use. Although surgical techniques over the last two decades have seen a paradigm shift from open to laparoscopic procedures for morbidly obese patients; optimally titrated yet safe analgesic management still remains a challenge. The present review sums up the analgesic options available for management of morbidly obese patients undergoing surgery. We highlight the utility of multimodal approach for analgesia with combinations of agents to decrease opioids requirements. Pre-emptive analgesia may be additionally used to improve the efficacy of postoperative pain relief while allowing further reductions in opioid requirements.
