The Effects of Locally Administered Morphine Over the Dura on Postoperative Morphine Consumption and Pain After Lumbar Disc Surgery: A Prospective, Randomised, Double-Blind and Placebo-Controlled Study.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
objectiveEffective pain management by avoiding side effects in the perioperative period is essential for patient outcome. Lumbar disc surgery is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain, and opioids are widely used. The primary aim of the present study was to compare the effects of 1 mg and 2 mg morphine-impregnated absorbable cellulose haemostat material placed over the dura on morphine consumption, and the secondary aims were to compare pain scores and opioid-related side effects during postoperative 24 h.
methodsThe study included 44 patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II). After the discectomy procedure and before the closure, in Group A (n=15), 1 mg morphine-impregnated absorbable cellulose haemostat material placed over the dura was used. In Group B (n=14), 2 mg morphine was used for the same technique, and in Group C (n=15) (control), normal saline was used. All patients used intravenous morphine patient-controlled analgesia pumps for 24 h following lumbar disc surgery. Morphine consumption, pain scores and opioid-related side effects were recorded at 10 min, 1, 2, 6, 12 and 24 h postoperatively.
resultsMorphine consumption, pain scores and opioid-related side effects were similar among the groups.
conclusionMorphine-impregnated absorbable cellulose haemostat material placement over the dura after single level lumbar discectomy did not reduce postoperative morphine consumption, pain scores and incidence of opioid-related side effects.
