Effect of platelet indices on postoperative pain and edema in bimaxillary surgery.

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
objectivesTo investigate the influence of platelet volume indices (PVI) on postoperative pain and edema in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery and assessed the associations between PVI parameters and other clinical factors.
methodsWe examined the medical records of 50 patients aged 18-40, treated between 2019 and 2020. Platelet indices (platelet count [PLT]), mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet large cell ratio) were analyzed. Postoperative pain and edema were assessed based on the frequency of intravenous (IV) analgesic administration and 3D imaging. A lasso-penalized regression was used for the analysis.
resultsSignificant positive correlations were observed between PLT and postoperative edema on the first (T1-0) and third (T3-0) postoperative days. Furthermore, PLT was positively associated with the number of IV analgesic drug administrations from 24 to 72 hours after surgery. Additionally, a discernible positive correlation was identified between PCT levels and the quantity of IV analgesic drugs administered within the first 24 hours after surgery.
conclusionPlatelet indices, particularly PLT and PCT levels, were associated with postoperative pain and edema in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery. These indices have the potential to serve as biomarkers for predicting and managing postoperative complications of orthognathic surgery. Further studies are required to explore the clinical utility and implications of these findings.
