Perioperative Pain Management in Morbid Obesity.
Review in Drugs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 28 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Morbid obesity (MO) is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide and is associated with both altered physiology and increased co-morbidities. Together, these can render the perioperative pain management in patients with MO particularly challenging. With the higher incidence of sleep-disordered breathing in this patient population, traditional opioid-centric pain management can often result in opioid-induced ventilatory impairment and increased morbidity and/or mortality. Multimodal analgesia strategies based on a step-wise, severity-based, opioid-sparing approach can improve patient safety and outcomes. These protocols should be standardized and implemented in the perioperative care of patients with MO. Further advancements in acute pain management have sought to identify and treat nociceptive and pro-nociceptive components (hyperalgesia, etc.) with both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic measures. In addition to standardizing postoperative pain management, irrespective of the anesthetic and analgesic regimen used, some patients with MO will need extended monitoring for potential respiratory adverse events. In this review, we briefly describe the obesity-associated changes in physiology and their impact on the pharmacology of pain, and provide an evidence-based clinical update on the perioperative pain management in MO. We discuss the role of opioid-sparing pharmacological adjuvants and implementation of standardized protocols, and highlight future areas of research in perioperative pain management in this patient population.
