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

introductionPatients undergoing upper extremity fracture surgery (UEFS) commonly suffer from unbearable acute pain. Opioids remain the mainstay of moderate to severe pain alleviation, although there is a growing concern regarding the increasing trend in misuse and abuse. This study aimed to observe the safety and efficacy of dinalbuphine sebacate (DS), a novel extended-release analgesic, along with multimodal analgesia (MMA) for post-UEFS pain control.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of patients undergoing UEFS between August 2020 and January 2021. Eligible patients were included and divided into two groups, depending on the analgesic regimen. In the DS group, 150 mg DS was administered intramuscularly at least 12 h pre-operatively, while in the conventional analgesia (CA) group, 40 mg parecoxib was given within 3 h before surgery. Intraoperative fentanyl administration was guided by the Analgesia Nociception Index System in both groups. For breakthrough pain, fentanyl was used as rescue medicine in the postanaesthesia care unit while tramadol and parecoxib were administered in the ward.

resultsForty-nine patients were allocated to the DS group and 60 patients were allocated to the CA group. In comparison with the CA group, the proportion of patients requiring opioids for breakthrough pain post-operatively was significantly lower in the DS group (fentanyl: 31% vs. 68%, p < 0.001; tramadol: 27% vs. 70%, p < 0.001). The DS group also consumed lower amounts of post-operative rescue opioids. Furthermore, both mean worst and least pain scores were significantly lower in the DS group from post-operative day (POD) 1 to POD 5. There was no significant difference in intraoperative consumption of fentanyl or incidence of adverse events.

conclusionThis result suggests that extended-release DS is a suitable analgesic incorporated in MMA and a promising solution to the misuse and abuse of opioids.
