Consensus Perioperative Management Best Practices for Patients on Transdermal Fentanyl Patches Undergoing Surgery.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewThe administration of a transdermal fentanyl patch can be complicated with different pharmacokinetics than other fentanyl preparations. RECENT
findingsThe medical condition and baseline opioid requirements must all be carefully considered when dosing a fentanyl patch. An advantage of the fentanyl patch is its ability to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and in many patients, provide effective analgesia with minimal side effects. Fentanyl patches must be carefully administered since morbidity and/or mortality can result from the following: Giving higher doses than a patient needs, combining the medication with potent sedatives, or heating a fentanyl patch. The use of a transdermal fentanyl patch for the treatment of acute postoperative pain is not recommended and any patient undergoing a surgical procedure should have the fentanyl patch removed preoperatively. The current manuscript discusses the history of fentanyl and the fentanyl patch, as well as perioperative considerations, contraindications, current clinical efficacy, and clinical adversities related to the transdermal fentanyl patch. Regarding the heating of a transdermal fentanyl patch, which significantly increases blood levels of fentanyl, it is of the utmost importance that the patch be removed prior to surgery.
