Acute Pain Management in the Year 2018-A Review.
Review in Journal of acute medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This review article provides an overview of acute pain management. It highlights the need to provide balanced pain care while limiting harm from opioids as per the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for balanced pain care. Opiophobia and its impact on the use of opioids for acute severe pain are discussed. Interventions that can improve global pain care and the role of pain scales in the management of acute pain are discussed. Newer trends in acute pain management in the emergency department (ED) are also reviewed and include: low dose ketamine, intravenous lidocaine, ultra-sound guided regional anesthesia, intravenous paracetamol, and patient controlled analgesia.
