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
Objective: We aimed to assess the level of patient's satisfaction and associated factors regarding postoperative pain management. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2018 at the University of Gondar, and comprehensive specialized hospital data were collected through semistructured questionnaire and chart review. Level of satisfaction was measured using five-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 23. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. Variables of Results: A total of 418 patients were included in this study with a response rate of 98.58%. The overall proportion of patients who were satisfied with pain management services was 72.2% (95% CI: 67.7-76.6). ASA1 (AOR = 3.55: 95% CI = 1.20-10.55) and ASA2 patients (AOR = 3.72: 95% CI = 1.04-13.28), absence of postoperative pain (AOR = 1.86: 95% CI = 1.02-3.39), peripheral nerve block done (AOR = 9.14: 95% CI = 3.93 20.86), received analgesic before request (AOR = 6.90: 95% CI = 3.72-12.83), and received systemic analgesics (AOR = 6.10: 95% CI = 1.17-33.91) were significantly associated with the level of satisfaction. Conclusion: The level of patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management was considerably low. Hence, it is vital to implement time-interval pain assessment method during the first 24 hours of postoperative period and treat accordingly based on the WHO pain ladder. Moreover, we suggested that all patients who underwent major surgery should receive peripheral nerve block as part of multimodal analgesia to decrease the incidence and severity of post op pain.
