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

backgroundNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are cornerstone in multimodal analgesia protocols. This point is of great value in morbidly obese patients due to the high prevalence of restrictive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that NSAIDs do not increase acute bariatric surgery complications while optimizing postoperative analgesia.

methodsDatabases of two medical centers were retrospectively reviewed to find all patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2017. Inclusion criteria were BMI greater than 30 kg/m

resultsThe study population included 270 patients, 134 in the control group, and 136 in the case group. NSAIDs usage produced better analgesia with significant reduction in morphine consumption and PACU length of stay. Also, incidence of surgical complications was the same in the two groups.

conclusionsNSAIDs administration do not increase postoperative complication rate after bariatric surgery. Although NSAID administration provided better analgesia and shorter PACU stay, future prospective studies are needed to confirm these encouraging results and to evaluate their impact on postoperative rehabilitation.
