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

backgroundTo assess the efficacy of the combined maneuvers in evaluation of post-laparoscopic pain. MATERIAL AND

methodsA randomized controlled study was conducted. Sixty-four women were included in the study and were randomly divided into two groups. Intervention group received combined maneuvers such as intraperitoneal normal saline infusion, pulmonary recruitment maneuver and local bupivacaine instillation at port sites after laparoscopic surgery. Control group received routine care.

main outcome measuresUpper abdominal pain, shoulder pain and incision site pain were noted in both groups at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively.

resultsThe median interquartile range (in centiles) of upper abdominal pain score 3, 6 and 12 h postoperatively in the intervention group was 1.0 (0.25-1.0), 1.0 (0.0-1.0) and 0.50 (0.0-1.0), and in the control group, the values were 2.0 (2.0-1.0), 2.0 (2.0-1.0) and 1.0 (0-1.0) at 3, 6 and 12 h, respectively (

conclusionCombined maneuvers could significantly reduce post-laparoscopic upper abdominal and shoulder pain.
