Intrathecal Morphine and Post-Operative Pain Relief in Robotic Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Despite the potential benefits of intrathecal morphine (ITM), the precise role and dosing of ITM in robotic assisted surgery (RAS) remains unclear. This systematic review explores real-world evidence to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of ITM in patients undergoing RAS. In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted on four databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and APA PsycInfo. Primary outcomes included pain scores at rest and on exertion at 24- and 48-h time intervals, and secondary outcomes aimed to explore the side effects of ITM. A meta-analysis was conducted to determine mean differences. A risk of bias assessment was conducted via the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. A total of 9 RCTs involving 619 patients were included in this review, of which 298 patients were administered ITM. Significant pain score reductions were observed both at rest (MD = -27.15; 95% CI [-43.97, -10.33]; I
