Does local infiltration anesthesia on laparoscopic surgical wounds reduce postoperative pain? Randomized control study.
Article in Reproductive medicine and biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeRecently, endoscopic surgeries are widely performed in the gynecological field. Several studies on the use of local anesthesia for pain control after laparoscopic surgery have been conducted; however, its effects remain controversial. Herein, a randomized control study on gynecological laparoscopic surgeries was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of local anesthesia on postoperative pain.
methodsPatients who underwent laparoscopic surgeries due to gynecologic benign diseases or endometrial cancer in the early stage were enrolled, and randomly divided into intervention (injected with levobupivacaine), and control (injected with saline) groups. The primary outcome was the dosage of analgesic consumption within 12 hours postoperatively.
resultsA total of 147 patients were enrolled in the intervention group and 147 in the control group. The outcome of local anesthesia was not significantly different between the two groups during the whole analysis. We analyzed the effects of local anesthesia in the laparoscopic surgery subgroup. The dosage of analgesic consumption within 12 h after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) or TLH with pelvic lymph node dissection (TLH+PLD) in the intervention group was significantly smaller than that in the control group.
conclusionLocal infiltration anesthesia can effectively reduce postoperative pain in patients who underwent TLH or TLH +PLD.
