Inpatient postoperative undesirable side effects of analgesics management: a pediatric patients and parental perspective.
Article in Pain reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionThe use of analgesics for the treatment of post-operative pain is common, however, such medications are known to have potential side effects. These undesirable secondary effects can have an important impact on patients and impede their recovery.
objectivesA review of the literature was conducted in order to gain a better understanding of the challenges confronted by pediatric patients in the acute post-operative period in terms of the side effects of analgesics.
methodsAn online search of keywords (pediatric, analgesic, pain medication, side effects, adverse effects, nausea and vomiting, post-operative, post-discharge, self-care, self-management, management, self-care strategies, patient expectations, patient concerns and education) using PubMed, Medline and Scopus databases, and using the snowballing method of reference tracking was conducted.
resultsA total of 10 studies (N = 10, 871 participants) published between 1990 and 2019 were reviewed. Common side effects experienced by patients were nausea, vomiting, and pruritus. Patients' parents reported having many concerns about analgesic use and reported a lack of knowledge on pain medications and side-effect management.
conclusionAreas of improvement in clinical practice include providing the patient and their parents with more information about the post-operative period, analgesic use, and side effects as well as prescribing appropriate treatments to alleviate side effects. This review reveals a lack of qualitative data on pain management and related undesired side effects in pediatric patients having undergone inpatient surgery in addition to the consequences on patients' daily living and on the self-care strategies they engage in to attenuate such effects.
