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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsThis study was conducted to compare continuous preperitoneal infusion (CPI) with continuous epidural infusion (CEI) of ropivacaine for pain relief and effect on pulmonary functions after major abdominal and pelvic surgeries. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred patients were randomized into two equal groups. Patients in CPI group (

resultsThe time for the first request of analgesia was longer in the CPI group compared with that in the CEI group (7.3 ± 1.6 vs. 4.1 ± 1.1 h with

conclusionContinuous preperitoneal infusion provides a superior analgesic effect than the continuous epidural infusion as regards delayed first request of analgesia, better pain scores, lesser usage of additional analgesics with better respiratory function.
