Association between postoperative shoulder pain and left-side laparoscopic urologic surgery: a single-center retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposePostoperative shoulder pain is a common problem after laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the association between operative side and postoperative shoulder pain following urologic laparoscopic surgery performed in the lateral recumbent position.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single tertiary care center. A total of 506 patients who underwent urologic laparoscopic surgery (including adrenalectomy, radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, and pyeloplasty) between January 2010 and December 2019 were included. Patients who underwent total nephroureterectomy or resection of other organs were excluded. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative shoulder pain. A multivariable logistic regression analysis investigated the association between the operative side and postoperative shoulder pain.
resultsAmong the 506 included patients, there were an equal number of surgeries on the left and right sides. Eighty-eight patients had postoperative shoulder pain. The incidence of postoperative shoulder pain in the left-side group was significantly higher than that in the right-side group (21.3% [54/253] versus 13.4% [34/253], crude odds ratio = 1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-2.89). After adjustment for potential confounders (age, sex, body mass index, operation duration, operative technique, epidural block, peripheral nerve block, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification, and intraoperative rocuronium dose), the left operative side was found to be associated with postoperative shoulder pain (adjusted odds ratio = 1.89, 95% CI 1.15-3.09).
conclusionThe left operative side is associated with an increased incidence of postoperative shoulder pain after urologic laparoscopic surgery performed in the lateral recumbent position.
