Association Between Perioperative Celecoxib, Acetaminophen, and Opioid Consumption After Palate Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine the effect of perioperative celecoxib and acetaminophen administration on opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after palate surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingTertiary academic center.
methodsAdults with OSA undergoing soft palate surgery and admitted to the hospital postoperatively between July 2013 and June 2023 were included. Study participants were also included if they underwent concurrent nasal surgery but excluded if they underwent any pharyngeal surgery other than tonsillectomy or were taking opioids prior to surgery. Opioids administered after surgery were converted to morphine milligram equivalents (MME). Multiple linear regression was used to examine the association between total MME consumed in the first 24 hours postoperatively and celecoxib and acetaminophen usage.
resultsA total of 210 study participants (15.7% female) were included with a mean age of 48.8 ± 37.5 years. The mean MME consumed in the first 24 hours after palate surgery was 80.2 ± 63.9. One hundred and twenty-six (60%) study participants received perioperative celecoxib, while 195 (93%) received perioperative acetaminophen. Celecoxib use was associated with lesser MME (-2.7 ± 1.1 MME per 100 mg; P = .018) consumed postoperatively, while acetaminophen was not (-0.3 ± 0.3 MME per 100 mg; P = .43). Female gender, Asian race, and African American race were also associated with lesser MME consumed postoperatively, while autoimmune/immunosuppressive conditions and tonsillectomy were associated with greater MME consumption.
conclusionPerioperative celecoxib was associated with reduced MME consumption in the first 24 hours after palate surgery. No association was found between acetaminophen and postoperative opioid use.
