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

backgroundThe addition of intrathecal morphine (ITM) to neuraxial anesthesia during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to achieve postoperative analgesia can elicit opioid-related side effects. The other methods of pain alleviation and side effect reduction, including multimodal analgesia, are challenging. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of various ITM dosages for primary unilateral TKA with periarticular injection (PI).

methodsThis randomized double-blind controlled trial was conducted at Vajira Hospital between April 2018 and March 2019. Patients undergoing TKA were randomized into 3 groups: no ITM (M

resultsThe trial enrolled 102 patients: M

conclusionPostoperative pain control achieved with PI combined with ITM 0.1 mg after primary unilateral TKA was comparable to that achieved with ITM 0.2 mg. PI without ITM resulted in higher pain scores and rescue analgesic consumption. The frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting 4 hours postoperatively were also lower in patients administered 0.1 mg of ITM than those in patients administered 0.2 mg of ITM.
