Diclofenac Transdermal Patch: A Potential Ingress to Maxillofacial Surgery.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the analgesic efficacy of a diclofenac transdermal patch with diclofenac intra muscular injection in the immediate postoperative period in patients undergoing major oral surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND
methodsSubjects who underwent bijaw surgeries for surgical correction of various dentofacial deformities were included. Sixty such patients who belonged to the above entity were randomly categorized into two groups from Jan 2012-Aug 2015. Group A (study group) received a single dose of 100 mg transdermal diclofenac patch, Group B (control group) received 75 mg intramuscular diclofenac and tramadol HCl 2 mg/kg body wt was used as rescue analgesic in the immediate post operative phase. The analgesic efficacy of the drugs are evaluated on periodic patient's perception of pain in the immediate postoperative phase of 2nd, 6th, 12th, 24th and 48 hours.
resultsThe mean VAS score in Group A was 2, mean duration of analgesia was 16 h 9 min, and in Group B the mean VAS score was 4, duration of analgesia was 8 h and 4 min. Tramadol HCl was given as rescue analgesia in 22 % (6) of patients belonging to Group A. None of the patients from both the groups reported local complications.
conclusionA noninvasive application of a single dose of 100 mg transdermal diclofenac patch is more effective than intramuscular diclofenac (75 mg) in the immediate post operative phase, without any significant side-effects is a novel ingress into the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery for post operative pain management.
