Meta-analysis of the traditional Chinese medicine care model in relieving postoperative pain in patients with anorectal diseases.

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
Objective: To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing on relieving postoperative pain in patients with anorectal diseases. Method: Three English and three Chinese databases (PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang Data and the China Science and Technology Journal Database) were systematically searched for case-controlled or prospective studies evaluating the impact of TCM nursing on postoperative pain in patients with anorectal diseases from the date of library construction until June 20, 2022. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was adopted to evaluate the quality of the observational studies. The effect of TCM care on pain based on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the effective pain relief rate, the wound healing time and the length of hospital stay were systematically analysed. Result: After a systematic search and screening, a total of 15 documents were included in this study. The systematic evaluation showed that TCM care reduced the VAS score (mean difference (MD): 1.15（95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.96, -1.06; P < 0.00001) compared with conventional postoperative care methods. As TCM nursing time increased, there was a trend towards decreased VAS scores. Furthermore, TCM care was effective in providing pain relief (OR: 4.78; 95 % CI: 2.93,7.79; P < 0.00001) and reducing wound healing time (MD: 4.44; 95 % CI: 5.60, -3.27; P < 0.00001) and length of hospital stay (MD: 4.87; 95 % CI: 5.93, -3.82; P < 0.00001). Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine nursing has a positive effect on the postoperative clinical results of patients with anorectal diseases, especially in relieving postoperative pain. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing in relieving short-term postoperative pain in patients with anorectal diseases is obvious. However, there is no uniform standard for TCM nursing projects, which may lead to heterogeneity.
