The effect of preemptive use of pregabalin on postoperative morphine consumption and analgesia levels after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a controlled randomized trial.
Trial report in International journal of colorectal disease, 2020. 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
purposeIn order to reduce postoperative opioid administration and pain levels in patients submitted to laparoscopic colectomy, we assessed the efficacy of preemptive use of pregabalin (PG), as part of a multimodal analgesia scheme, in a randomized controlled trial setting.
methodsOverall, fifty adult patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic colectomy were included and randomized in our trial. In the experimental group, 23 patients received preoperatively 2 doses of 150 mg PG per os, whereas the control group consisted of 27 cases, where a matching to PG placebo was administered at the same scheme. The two groups had identical analgesia and anesthesia regimens otherwise. Our study endpoints included postoperative morphine consumption, postoperative pain, and complication rates.
resultsPatients in the PG group displayed a significantly reduced morphine consumption at 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h postoperatively. The two groups were comparable in terms of postoperative pain (rest and movement assessment) and side effects.
conclusionsThe preoperative addition of PG resulted in a significant reduction of the postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy. However, an association with the postoperative pain scores was not identified.
