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/
objectivesAfter the earthquakes in Turkey, many citizens were injured, and a long ongoing process requiring physiological and psychological treatments began. The aim of this study was to observe the pain and psychological changes in earthquake victims in light of the QoR-15 score.
methodsAfter approval by the local ethics committee (Decision No. 2023-194), earthquake victims with catheters in trauma and reconstructive surgery were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic and catheterization data were collected. Baseline, 24 h, 72 h QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery-15), and VAS (Visual Analog Scala) scores were compared for changes over time.
resultsA total of 40 catheters were placed in 29 patients (after the exclusion of children, 36 catheters were evaluated in 26 (15 w/11 m) patients). The mean age of the patients was 35.57 ± 13.69 years, and the duration of catheterization was 8 (4.25-12.75) days. An infusion of 0.1% bupivacaine 0.5-1 mg/kg/24 h was started routinely. The QoR-15 scores of the patients at baseline, 24 h, and 72 h were 80.45 ± 17.76, 95.27 ± 15.16, and 101.06 ± 15.52, respectively (
conclusionsIn this study, a significant improvement in QoR-15 and VAS scores was achieved as a result of catheter insertion in earthquake victims. Considering that post-traumatic injuries require repeated surgeries and that pain aggravates the existing psychological state, it can be said that catheterization is beneficial.
