Impact of Ketamine on Quality of Recovery after Laparoscopic Surgery: A Single-Centre Single-Blinded Trial Using the QoR-15 Questionnaire.
Article in Anesthesiology research and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03724019 (Evaluation of the Impact of the Use of Ketamine in Laparoscopic Surgery, Using the Quality of Recovery 15 Questionnaire.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: The quality of recovery is a cluster of patient-related outcomes that emphasise not only pain but different physical and emotional dimensions. Traditionally, ketamine is used to improve postoperative analgesia and avoid opioid consumption and opioid-related side effects. Objective: The present study sought to evaluate if intraoperative ketamine administration (as a part of multimodal analgesia) influences the quality of recovery after laparoscopic surgery. Design: A prospective two-armed, single-blinded trial. Results: A total of 127 patients were allocated to the study groups, 60 in group K and 67 in group NK. Regarding the primary outcome, no differences were found in individual categories (15 items) and in the total score of QoR-15 ( Conclusion: In this study, the administration of ketamine in laparoscopic surgery had no impact on the quality of recovery 24 h after surgery. This trial is registered with NCT03724019.
