Associated risk factors of postoperative pain after glaucoma surgery: a prospective study.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeThis study aimed to determine degree of postoperative pain and the incidence of serious postoperative pain after glaucoma surgery and further to identify the associated risk factors.
methodsA total of 194 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with glaucoma and underwent glaucoma surgery were enrolled in this study. The intensity of postoperative pain was evaluated using numerical rating scale (NRS) within 24 h after surgery; NRS ≥ 5 was considered as clinically significant postoperative pain. Risk factors associated with the development of postoperative pain were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsClinically significant postoperative pain was experienced at any time after glaucoma surgery in 41.75% of the patients, which peak at 2 h. 27.8% of the patients requested analgesic medication within 24 h after surgery. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, preoperative anxiety (OR = 4.13 [1.29-13.2], p = 0.017), cyclophotocoagulation (OR = 30.9 [3.47-375.1], p = 0.002), and phacotrabeculectomy combined with or without intraocular lens implantation (OR = 30.0 [2.69-335.6], p = 0.006) were associated with increased clinically significant postoperative pain. Interestingly, patients with diabetes and/or hypertension were associated with less postoperative pain after glaucoma surgery (OR = 0.23 [0.08-0.64], p = 0.005).
conclusionPatients undergoing glaucoma surgery tend to experience postoperative pain in the early postoperative period. Anxiety level and surgery types of cyclophotocoagulation and phacotrabeculectomy are risk factors for postoperative pain. Patients with diabetes and/or hypertension are less likely to develop postoperative pain.
