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

backgroundPostoperative analgesic management is an ongoing challenge. The pain threshold (PT) is an objective index that reflects the body's sensitivity to pain and can be used for quantitative pain assessment. We hypothesized that the PT is correlated with postoperative pain and can thus be used to guide postoperative pain management.

methodsThis study involved 93 patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery from December 2019 to February 2020. The PT was measured with transcutaneous electrical stimulation before surgery (T

resultsThe postoperative PT was higher than the preoperative PT and showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery; the PTV also showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery. PT-T

conclusionsThe postoperative PT was higher than the preoperative PT and showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery; PTV also showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery. The PT and PTV were negatively correlated with the pain intensity at rest and during motion and were associated with perioperative analgesic consumption and the incidence of adverse events.
