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

introductionThe purpose of this study was to investigate the analgesic effect of 3 different regimens of combination analgesics administered to patients undergoing thyroidectomy. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 152 patients undergoing total or subtotal thyroidectomy were enrolled. Patients allocated to group A received a combination of intravenous (IV) paracetamol and intramuscular (IM) pethidine, patients in group B received a combination of IV paracetamol and IV parecoxib, while patients in group C received IV paracetamol monotherapy.

resultsThe analgesic regimens of groups A and B were found to be of equivalent efficacy (

conclusionsThe combinations of IV paracetamol with either IM pethidine or IV parecoxib are superior to IV paracetamol monotherapy in achieving pain control in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
