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

backgroundThere are difficulties in controlling the symptoms of pain, nausea, and vomiting after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PGNB on pain and nausea and vomiting in the early postoperative period in patients who underwent LSG.

methodsIn this prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study, the patients were divided into two equally formed groups: patients who underwent PGNB after LSG and the control group. Postoperative pain symptoms were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) scores, and nausea and vomiting symptoms were evaluated using the postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) scores.

resultsThe study was completed with 90 patients, 45 patients in each group. The VAS scores measured at postoperative hours 1, 6, and 12 were statistically significantly lower in the PGNB group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the 24th hour VAS scores. The mean PONV scores of the PGNB and control groups were 0.47 ± 0.89 and 1.67 ± 1.95, respectively, revealing a significantly higher value for the controls. The mean time to first mobilization in the postoperative period was significantly shorter in the PGNB group. Upon the evaluation of patient satisfaction, it was determined that the satisfaction score of the PGNB group was significantly higher.

conclusionsPGNB is an effective and safe method for managing pain, nausea, and vomiting that occur in the early period after LSG.
