Time to Onset of Sustained Postoperative Pain Relief (SuPPR): Evaluation of a New Systems-level Metric for Acute Pain Management.
Article in The Clinical journal of pain, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesPrior work on postoperative pain trajectories has examined pain score changes over time using daily averages of pain scores. However, little is known about the time required until patients consistently report minimal postoperative pain. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of surgical case data from 7293 adult patients to examine the impact of age, sex, and the type of surgery on the time to sustained postoperative pain relief (SuPPR). We defined SuPPR as the time required until a patient reports the first of multiple (2, 3, 4, or 5 sequential measurements; eg, SuPPR-2, SuPPR-3), uninterrupted, mild pain scores (≤4/10).
resultsOverall, SuPPR times ranged from 3 minutes for SuPPR-2 and 9 minutes for SuPPR-5 to 160.1 hours for SuPPR-2 and 183.1 hours for SuPPR-5. For the SuPPR-2 outcome, the median time to event was 10.9 hours (interquartile range, 3 to 26.1 h) after surgery. For the SuPPR-5 outcomes, the median time to event was 31.5 hours (interquartile range, 17.8 to 54.2 h) after surgery. The peak median difference between 2 sequential SuPPR definitions was between SuPPR-3 and SuPPR-2 at 9 hours, with subsequent decreases to 6.5 hours between SuPPR-4 and SuPPR-3, and 5.2 hours between SuPPR-5 and SuPPR-4. There were statistically different differences across SuPPR-2 through SuPPR-5 definitions by age, sex, and type of surgery. DISCUSSION: Although additional analyses are necessary, SuPPR may represent a novel method for evaluating acute pain service performance.
