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
backgroundManagement of postoperative pain leads to positive patient progress and shortens the duration of hospital stay. There is a lack of information on nurse's postoperative pain management practice and its associated factors.
objectiveTo assess postoperative pain management practice and associated factors among nurses working in public hospitals of West Shoa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, 2021.
designAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was employed.
settingStudy was conducted among eight public hospitals (two tertiary hospitals and six secondary hospitals), which were located in West Shoa Zone in Oromia, Ethiopia.
participantsTotally 377 participants were selected by using simple random sampling. From this, 277 were men and 100 participants were women. All nurses who were worked in surgical ward, medical wards, minor operation room and major operation room, recovery rooms, emergency, obstetrics and gynaecology wards were included.
methodsData were collected by distributing structured self-administered questionnaires that adapted from different literatures and were entered into Epi data V.3.1 and exported to SPSS V.22 for analysis. Variables with significant association in the bivariate analyses were entered into a multivariable regression analysis to identify the independent factors associated with nurses' postoperative pain management practice. Significant factors were declared at p<0.05.
resultThe result showed that 66% of nurses had good pain management practice. Nurses favourable attitude towards postoperative pain management (adjusted OR (AOR): 4.698, 95% CI (2.725 to 8.100)), having access to read pain management guideline (AOR: 3.112, 95% CI (1.652 to 5.862)), adequate knowledge of postoperative pain management (AOR: 2.939, 95% CI (1.652 to 5.227)), working at operation room (AOR: 2.934, 95% CI (1.27 to 6.795)) and received training on pain management (AOR: 3.289, 95% CI (1.461 to 7.403)) were significantly associated with the practices of postoperative pain management. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: 65% of participants (nurses) have a good level of practice of postoperative pain management. Training, access to pain management guidelines, knowledge and attitude are significant factors in postoperative pain management practice. Governmental and other bodies concerned to postoperative care quality needs to show commitment on availing needed training and infrastructures.
