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

objectiveOne of the critical components in the postoperative care is pain. Given that little research has been done regarding the analgesic effects of intra-articular injection of ketamine, this study was aimed to compare the analgesic effect of intra-articular and extra-articular injection of morphine and ketamine compound in arthrotomy surgery under spinal anesthesia.

methodsA total of 50 patients were candidate for arthrotomy surgery, aged 18-60 years were divided randomly into two groups. At the end of surgery, the first group was treated with combination of intra-articular morphine and ketamine compound and the second group was treated with combination of extra-articular morphine and ketamine compound. The amount of postoperative pain was recorded in the hours of 2,4,6,12,24 respectively. Also 24 hours consumption of rescue analgesic was recorded.

resultsThe pain severity (VAS) in the hours of 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 after surgery in the intra-articular injection group was significantly lower than the extra-articular injection group (P<0.05). Postoperative morphine consumption in intra-articular injection group (3.2±3.78) was significantly less than the extra-articular injection group (6.36±5.22) (p = 0.018).

conclusionPostoperative pain severity of intra-articular injection of ketamine and morphine in knee surgery is less than extra-articular injection.
