Identification of Presurgical Risk Factors for the Development of Chronic Postsurgical Pain in Adults: A Comprehensive Umbrella Review.
Review in Journal of pain research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Purpose: Risk factors for the development of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) have been reported in primary studies and an increasing number of reviews. The objective of this umbrella review was to compile and understand the published presurgical risk factors associated with the development of CPSP for various surgery types. Methods: Six databases were searched from January 2000 to June 2023 to identify meta-analyses, scoping studies, and systematic reviews investigating presurgical CPSP predictors in adult patients. Articles were screened by title/abstract and subsequently by full text by two independent reviewers. The selected papers were appraised for their scientific quality and validity. Data were extracted and descriptively analyzed. Results: Of the 2344 retrieved articles, 36 reviews were selected for in-depth scrutiny. The number of primary studies in these reviews ranged from 4 to 317. The surgery types assessed were arthroplasty (n = 13), spine surgery (n = 8), breast surgery (n = 4), shoulder surgery (n = 2), thoracic surgery (n = 2), and carpal tunnel syndrome (n = 1). One review included a range of orthopedic surgeries; six reviews included a variety of surgeries. A total of 39 presurgical risk factors were identified, some of which shared the same defining tool. Risk factors were themed into six broad categories: psychological, pain-related, health-related, social/lifestyle-related, demographic, and genetic. The strength of evidence for risk factors was inconsistent across different reviews and, in some cases, conflicting. A consistently high level of evidence was found for preoperative pain, depression, anxiety, and pain catastrophizing. Conclusion: This umbrella review identified a large number of presurgical risk factors which have been suggested to be associated with the development of CPSP after various surgeries. The identification of presurgical risk factors is crucial for the development of screening tools to predict CPSP. Our findings will aid in designing screening tools to better identify patients at risk of developing CPSP and inform strategies for prevention and treatment.
