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
Background: Pain control after thoracoscopy is one of the important issues in patient health care. Pre-emptive analgesia can reduce acute postoperative pain and also prevent chronic pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of gabapentin (GABA analog) as pre-emptive analgesia in reducing pain and reducing opiate consumption after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) surgery. Materials and Methods: In this study, 67 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery were randomly divided into two groups (31 placeboes and 36 gabapentin). Patients received two capsules (300 mg gabapentin capsules or placebo) on the night before surgery and again one hour before surgery. After completion of the operation, all patients were transferred to the recovery. Evaluation of postoperative pain was performed using the visual analog scale (VAS) every 30 minutes and then after 2, 4, 6, 10, 24 hours. If patients had pain (VAS above 3), intravenous morphine was injected to relieve pain and the number of injections and the total dose of morphine administered was recorded. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding VAS, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and saturated oxygen level (SaO Conclusion: Preoperative gabapentin administration did not affect postoperative pain reduction, but morphine consumption in the gabapentin group was decreased during the first 24 hours after VATS.
