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

Fentanyl and short-acting remifentanil are often used in combination. We evaluated the effect of intraoperative opioid administration on postoperative pain and pain thresholds when the two drugs were used. Patients who underwent gynecological laparoscopic surgery were randomly assigned into two groups (15 patients each) to receive either sufficient (group A) or minimum (group B) fentanyl (maximum estimated effect site concentration: A: 7.86 ng/mL, B: 1.5 ng/mL). The estimated effect site concentration at the end of surgery was adjusted to the same level (1 ng/mL). Patients in both groups also received continuous intravenous remifentanil during surgery. The primary outcome was the pressure pain threshold, as evaluated by a pressure algometer 3 h postoperatively. The pressure pain threshold at 3 h postoperatively was 51.1% (95% CI: [44.4-57.8]) in group A and 56.6% [49.5-63.6] in group B, assuming a preoperative value of 100% (
