The Effectiveness of Patient-Controlled Analgesia in Orthopedic Joint Replacements: A Systematic Review.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Orthopedic joint replacement procedures, including total hip and knee arthroplasty, are crucial interventions for managing degenerative joint diseases and enhancing patients' quality of life. Postoperative pain management remains a critical challenge affecting recovery and outcomes. Recognizing pain management as pivotal in patient care, this systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) in orthopedic surgeries. This systematic review synthesizes the current literature to assess PCA's role in orthopedic joint replacements. Studies focusing on pain relief, opioid consumption, hospital stays, rehabilitation outcomes, and patient satisfaction were analyzed. Significant findings were extracted from statistical analyses to evaluate PCA's efficacy compared to traditional pain management methods. PCA significantly improves postoperative pain relief (
