Efficacy of Oral Gabapentin and Acetaminophen for Postoperative Analgesia in Anorectal Surgery: A Fuzzy Logic Evaluation.
Article in Middle East journal of digestive diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: The present study attempted to evaluate the effect of oral gabapentin and acetaminophen for postoperative analgesia in anorectal surgery. Methods: This double-blind clinical trial was carried out on 144 patients who were candidates for anorectal surgery. The patients were randomly assigned into three groups of control, acetaminophen 500 mg, and gabapentin 300 mg for two hours before the surgery. Data on pain severity based on the visual analog scale (VAS) were evaluated and analyzed. Results: The results of the current study indicated that in patients taking acetaminophen and gabapentin tablets before surgery, the amount of postoperative pain decreased, and the amount of decrease in postoperative pain in the patients who received acetaminophen and gabapentin tablets compared with the placebo group was significant ( Conclusion: Taking acetaminophen and gabapentin tablets one hour before the operation causes a significant reduction in postoperative pain in patients who are candidates for anorectal surgery. The results are promising and encourage one to pay attention to more studies with the goal of possibly using them as a decision-support model in the future.
