The magnitude and associated factors of post-operative pain at Debre Tabor compressive specialized hospital, Debre Tabor Ethiopia, 2018.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesPost-operative pain is a form of acute pain following surgical intervention. And it is due to skin incision, tissue dissection, manipulation, and traction during the surgical procedure. The magnitude may reach up to 85.5% globally. Age, gender, duration of surgery, and length of skin incision were the common factors for post-operative pain. This study aims to assess the magnitude and associated factors of post-operative pain among surgical patients.
methodsInstitutional-based cross-sectional study design was used. The study was conducted on a total of 159 surgical patients aged 8 years and above. The data were collected using chart review and recording the status of post-operative pain by the result of the Numeric Rating Scale at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 72 h of the post-operative period. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression were used. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to determine the association. A
resultsThe majority (58.5%) of the study participants were females. The percentage of moderate to severe post-operative pain (Numeric Rating Scale: 4 and above) was between 37.7% within 1 h and 76.7% at 6 h of post-operative period. On multivariable logistic regression being female gender, preoperative pain and large skin incision were significantly associated with post-operative pain.
conclusionsPost-operative pain is still high which needs the attention of health professionals working on surgical patients and considering factors associated with post-operative pain.
