Effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on acute postoperative breast augmentation pain: study protocol.
Article in Pain management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aim of this study is to describe a protocol for evaluating the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on pain following breast augmentation surgery. Fifty-four women will be randomly allocated into two groups: active TENS and placebo. Pain will be assessed at rest and during movement, before and immediately after TENS application. Secondary outcomes include pain one-hour post-treatment, respiratory muscle strength, patient satisfaction, and analgesic use in the first four hours post-surgery. The results of this clinical trial could enhance the management of post-operative pain in breast augmentation surgery using non-pharmacological interventions, potentially reducing costs and improving patient experience.Clinical Trial Registration: RBR-96h3k97.
