Interest of Using Ropivacaine for Outpatient Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Prospective Randomized Trial.
Trial report in World journal of surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02085902 (Does the Use of Ropivacaine Facilitates Cholecystectomy by Laparoscopy in Ambulatory Surgery?), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the interest of using ropivacaine for outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The use of local anesthesia by instillation and infiltration could reduce pain and increase the number of outpatient cholecystectomies.
methodsA one-center randomized prospective clinical trial compared the use of ropivacaine during outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the control group of outpatients for laparoscopic cholecystectomy between April 2014 and May 2015. One hundred twenty-four were eligible, and 100 patients were randomized. Patients with outpatient cholecystectomy were randomized into 2 groups: ropivacaine group (Rop group) and control group (control group). We performed a ropivacaine intraperitoneal instillation and wound infiltration for the ropivacaine group at the end of the procedure. The primary observation was authorization for home discharge. The patient was evaluated by the surgeon using the Chung score. Secondary observations included postoperative pain at 2 h post-surgery, at 6 h post-surgery and the day following surgery.
resultsNinety-eight were able to leave on the evening of surgery. At 6 h post-surgery, the Chung score was identical for both groups (p = 0.73). At 2 and 6 h post-surgery and the day following surgery, there was no significant difference in pain levels (p = 0.63; p = 0.61; p = 0.98). Analgesic consumption was no significant difference in the groups.
conclusionsThe use of ropivacaine does not increase the rate of home discharge and does not change the postoperative pain of outpatient cholecystectomy.
