Comparison of the effect of the lidocaine, tetracaine, and articaine application into nasal packs on pain and hemorrhage after septoplasty.
Trial report in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveWe purposed to compare the effects of certain local anesthetics soaked Merocel nasal packs on hemorrhage and pain after septoplasty. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study is a prospective double-blind study that was done in patients undergoing septoplasty. The study was created with 90 patients. All patients were divided into four groups. The each group was applied 2% lidocaine plus adrenaline, 2% tetracaine, 4% articaine plus adrenaline as study groups or 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) as control group in their Merocel packs after septoplasty. Verbal analog scale (VAS) was applied to all patients and the amount of postoperative hemorrhage was noted during postoperative period. The statistical analysis was performed using Student's t test and Chi-square test on each patient group at each time point.
resultsThe study groups (2% lidocaine plus adrenaline, 2% tetracaine and 4% articaine plus adrenaline groups) had significantly better pain scores versus control group in the 1st, 4th, 8th, 16th and 24th postoperative hours (p < 0.05). The articaine plus adrenaline group had better pain scores than the lidocaine plus adrenaline group, and the lidocaine plus adrenaline group had better pain scores than the tetracaine group in the postoperative first day. Also articaine plus adrenaline group had less postoperative bleeding rate than the lidocaine plus adrenaline, tetracaine and control groups (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the lidocaine plus adrenaline, tetracaine and control groups in terms of postoperative hemorrhage (p > 0.05).
conclusionTopical articaine plus adrenaline application in the nasal packs can be safely used for less pain and bleeding following septoplasty.
