A comparison between fentanyl plus celecoxib therapy and epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain management following laparoscopic gastrectomy.
Article in Surgery today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo clarify the efficacy of postoperative pain management following laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), we retrospectively compared pain assessments in patients who received fentanyl plus celecoxib with those who received epidural anesthesia.
methodsFrom 2011 to 2012, 55 consecutive LG patients at our institution received 48 h of epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain management (group-E). Since September 2013, epidural anesthesia was replaced with 24 h of intravenous fentanyl and 4 days of oral celecoxib. Thirty-three consecutive LG patients who received this analgesic method (group-FC) were included in this analysis. The severity of postoperative pain as assessed by the FACES Pain Rating Scale and the frequency of rescue pain medication were retrospectively compared between the two groups.
resultsNo significant difference in the severity of postoperative pain on postoperative day (POD) 0 or 1 was observed between the two groups. In contrast, pain was significantly lower in group-FC than group-E on PODs 2, 3, 4, and 7. The total use of rescue pain medications during the first 7 days following LG did not differ between the two groups.
conclusionPain management using 24 h of intravenous fentanyl and 4 days of oral celecoxib is comparable to epidural anesthesia following LG.
