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

purposeThe aim of this study is to compare the analgesic effects of tramadol-absorbed merocel nasal packings and lidocaine-absorbed merocel nasal packings using visual analog scale (VAS) in the postoperative period in patients undergoing septoplasty operation. MATERIALS AND

methodsOur study was applied as a retrospective. Informations about the patients were accessed via their medical records. Our study was performed on 122 patients aged between 18 and 50 years. Patients were divided into three groups according to the application of lidocaine, tramadol and 0.9% NaCl on merocel nasal packings. In the postoperative period, VAS (visual analog scale) scores, side effects, additional analgesic requirements were recorded for 24 h starting from PACU (post anesthetic care unit).

resultsThere was no difference between the number of male and female patients (p > 0.05). Postoperative pain was evaluated with VAS score periodically in postoperative 5 min-24 h in all groups. When we compared the groups with each other, there was a statistically significant difference between the tramadol-lidocaine and tramadol-control group (p < 0.05).

conclusionTramadol infiltrated to nasal packings decrease the need of additional analgesics in the postoperative period, increases patients' satisfaction, decreases the length of hospital stay, and as a result, reduced the rate of secondary infections.
