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

Effective analgesic therapy in neonates continues to be fundamental for improving quality of life and decreasing the need for further medical intervention. When pain is not well controlled in the neonatal intensive care setting, we see an increased use of sedation pharmaceuticals, mechanical ventilation, and altered somatosensory development, among other complications. Currently, there is no standardized protocol addressing effective pain management while decreasing the need for further sedation. In this article, we seek to demonstrate how our institution standardized and implemented the utilization of epidural analgesia in neonates as the preferred method of pain management for open thoracic and abdominal surgeries.
