Acute postoperative pain management after living donor hepatectomy during the transition from an open to minimally invasive surgical approach.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. 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
Background: Acute post-surgical pain is a common concern for patients undergoing living donor hepatectomy (LDH), potentially leading to unfavorable outcomes if not treated adequately. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the transition of surgical techniques from open and laparoscopic to robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach, and the different types of graft resection, including right, left, and left lateral partial lobectomy (LL), on analgesia requirements during the first two postoperative days. Methods: A single-center retrospective electronic chart review of all patients who underwent LDH procedures between 2018 and 2020 was performed. Results: Patients underwent LDH procedure ( Conclusions: Robot-assisted MIS approach for LDH procedure resulted in lower acute pain scores when compared with other surgical approaches, obviating the need for intravenous (IV) patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).
