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

backgroundPreemptive analgesia has as its basic principle the administration of analgesics before the onset of painful stimuli, in order to reduce or prevent postoperative pain, but this question is little explored in implantology. Thus, this study was conducted in order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ibuprofen in pain prevention after unit implant surgery. MATERIAL AND

methodsFor this triple-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled and randomized clinical trial, 54 insertion surgeries of unitary implants were performed. Two groups have received two different protocols 1 hour before surgery: Ibuprofen group (IBU) 600 mg of ibuprofen; and (2) placebo group (maize starch). The intensity of the pain was evaluated through the visual analogue scale (VAS) in 6 times (1, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the surgery). Patients were instructed to take 750 mg of paracetamol as rescue medication, if necessary. The occurrence and the intensity of pain were analyzed by means of an analysis of variance ANOVA with repeated measurements using the general linear model procedure.

resultsThe IBU group had significantly lower VAS scores overall (IBU = 0.30, ± 0.57; placebo = 1.14, ± 1.07;

conclusionsThe single use of ibuprofen was found to be significantly superior in reducing pain after unit implant surgery compared to placebo.
