Assessment of postoperative pain in children following sclerotherapy of vascular malformations: a retrospective single centre cohort study.

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
backgroundInadequately controlled postprocedural pain following sclerotherapy in patients with vascular malformations is a well recognised problem. Reliable epidemiological data and risk factors associated with postprocedural pain in children are lacking.
objectivesTo evaluate and quantify postprocedural pain in children and identify possible risk factors based on characteristics of the patient, treatment, and medication.
designA retrospective single centre cohort study.
settingA tertiary single centre study in the Netherlands. PATIENTS: Two hundred and nine chiuldren with 'simple' subtypes of congenital vascular malformation who had undergone sclerotherapy. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE: Quantifying inadequately controlled postprocedural pain. SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Identifying potential patient and treatment characteristics associated with inadequately controlled postprocedural pain.
resultsA total of 209 patients who underwent 679 procedures were included in this study. The mean age at first intervention was 11.8 ± 4.5 years. Inadequately controlled postprocedural pain was found in 34.8% of the 679 procedures. Venous malformations (VM) were the most prevalent subtype of vascular malformation (80%), followed by arteriovenous malformations (AVM) (14.6%) and lymphatic malformations (LM) (5.4%). The odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence intervals), and
conclusionsDespite aiming to achieve best practice, the 34.8% incidence of unsatisfactory postoperative pain management in the children studied confirms that postprocedural pain after sclerotherapy is a common problem that requires further attention.
