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

Single-shot spinal diamorphine is becoming common practice in urological surgery to aid post-operative pain; however, its safety and efficacy require investigation. This study is a retrospective analysis of 113 laparoscopic or robotic-assisted nephrectomies over 4 years under one consultant urologist. Data were collected on demographic, pre-operative scores, anaesthesia, surgical information, post-operative outcomes and opioid consumption. Two main groups were established: no spinal diamorphine (NSD) and spinal diamorphine (SD). Four subgroups were then created, separating those who received patient-controlled anaesthesia (PCA) or not: Group 1 [general anaesthetic (GA)]; Group 2 [GA and PCA]; Group 3 [GA and spinal diamorphine] and Group 4 [GA, spinal diamorphine and PCA]. Ninety-eight eligible patients were identified. At 6 hours, pain scores were significantly higher for all non-spinal groups (
