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

backgroundThough there is an effective intervention, pain after surgical intervention is undermanaged worldwide. A systematic implementation is required to increase the utilization of available evidence-based intervention to manage the inevitable pain after surgery. The aim of this research project is to develop a scalable model for managing pain after cesarean section by implementing the World Health Organization's (WHO) pain management guidelines through a combination of implementation research and quality improvement methods.

methodsWe implemented the World Health Organization (WHO) pain management guidelines using effective implementation strategies. First, we conducted a formative qualitative exploration to identify enablers and obstacles. In addition, we took base-line assessment on pain management implementation process and outcome using a checklist prepared from the guideline and an adapted American Pain Outcome assessment tool version 2010, respectively. Then, we integrated the guidelines into the existing practice by using collaborative iterative learning strategy. We analyzed the data by Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. We compared the before and after data using chi-squared and Fischer's exact test. A change in any measurement was considered as significant at

resultWe collected data from 106 mothers before and 110 mothers after intervention implementation. We successfully integrated pain as a fifth vital sign in more than 87% (
