Combined impact of local anaesthetic infiltration through wound catheter and epidural analgesia following surgical hepatectomy: a meta-analysis.

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
Introduction: A meta-analysis was performed to examine the effects of wound catheter (WC) local anaesthetic infiltration (LAI) and epidural analgesia (EA) in open hepatectomy (OH). Material and methods: A systematic literature review was performed, which found 350 subjects with OH at the baseline of the studies; 159 of them were treated with WC local anaesthetic infiltration, and 191 used EA. Results: WC LAI substantially reduced the functional recovery time (MD = -0.64; 95% CI, -1.02 to -0.26, p < 0.001) and increased the pain score on the second postoperative day (MD = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.10-0.40, p < 0.001) compared to EA in OH patients. WC LAI did not vary from EA in OH patients in second postoperative opiate use (MD = -14.86; 95% CI: -32.88 to 3.16, p = 0.11) or overall complication rate (OR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.41-1.04, p = 0.07). Conclusions: WC LAI showed a non-significant difference in opiate consumption on the second postoperative day and in the overall complication rate, compared with EA, but it showed a lower functional recovery time and higher pain score.
