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

One third of operations are performed on an outpatient basis in Germany, but methods of postoperative pain therapy are less studied. We observed 126 patients with ambulatory and planned surgery in the field of orthopedics and trauma surgery. They were treated with the analgesic metamizole intra- and postoperatively and completed the patients' questionnaire QUIPS on the first postoperative day. In all, 79 patients (61.7%) reported current pain ≥4 on the numerical rating scale (NRS); 84 (66.6%) had restrictions in mobility, 48 (38.1%) described sleep disorders, and 26 (20.6%) wished for more or stronger analgesics. However, 91 (72.2%) of our patients were satisfied with the their pain therapy. Chances are that the treatment of nociceptive pain during movement with NSAID or COX-2-inhibitors is more successful. Further investigations should follow.
