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

backgroundPain management after bariatric surgery remains challenging given the risk for analgesia-related adverse events (e.g., opioid use disorder, marginal ulcers). Identifying modifiable factors associated with patient-reported pain outcomes may improve quality of care. We evaluated the extent to which patient and procedural factors predict 7-day post-discharge pain intensity, pain interference, and satisfaction with pain management after bariatric surgery.

methodsThis prospective cohort study included adults undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery at two university-affiliated hospitals and one private clinic. Preoperative assessments included demographics, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (score range 0-52), Patient Activation Measure (low [< 55.1] vs. high [≥ 55.1]), pain expectation (0-10), and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29) anxiety and depression scales. At 7 days post-discharge, assessments included PROMIS-29 pain intensity (0-10) and pain interference scales (41.6-75.6), and satisfaction with pain management (high [10-9] vs. lower [8-0]). Linear and logistic regression were used to assess the association of pain outcomes with potential predictors.

resultsThree hundred and fifty-one patients were included (mean age = 44 ± 11 years, BMI = 45 ± 8 kg/m

conclusionPatient-related factors are important predictors of post-discharge pain outcomes after bariatric surgery. Our findings highlight the value of addressing educational, psychological, and coping strategies to improve postoperative pain outcomes.
