The efficacy of local liposomal bupivacaine infiltration on pain and recovery after Total Joint Arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04539730 (Does the Addition of Liposomal Bupivacaine to the Adductor Canal Block Impact Narcotic Use After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTotal Joint Arthroplasty (TJA) is gradually emerging as the treatment of choice for end-stage osteoarthritis. In the past, Perioperative liposomal bupivacaine treatment is still a controversial subject in TJA. Therefore, we write this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine on pain and recovery after TJA. MATERIALS AND
methodsEmbase, Pubmed, and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies were included in our meta-analysis. Twelve studies that compared liposomal bupivacaine groups with placebo groups were included in our meta-analysis. The research was reported according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. RCTs were included in our meta-analysis.
resultsOur study demonstrated that liposomal bupivacaine group was as effective as the placebo group in term of VAS score at 24 h (P = .09), 48 h (P = .97); Postoperative nausea (P = .72); and LOS (0.27). There was significant difference in terms of total morphine consumption at 24 h (P < .0001), 48 h (P = .0008).
conclusionOur meta-analysis demonstrated that liposomal bupivacaine has similar pain control and functional recovery after TJA which compared with the control group. However, we still need large sample size, high-quality studies to explore the relationship between complications and dose response to give the final conclusion.
