[Update PO(N)V-What is new in the prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting?]
Review in Die Anaesthesiologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is defined as the joint or individual occurrence of nausea, retching and vomiting within 24-48h after an operation. The peripheral and central nervous systems are involved in the development of PONV. The pathogenesis of PONV is multifactorial. Patient-related, anaesthesia-related and surgery-related risk factors can be present. Some of the risk factors for PONV were combined to form PONV risk scores (e.g., the simplified risk score for predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting from Apfel et al.), with the help of which the risk of PONV can be estimated with a sensitivity and specificity of 65-70%. For certain collectives specialised PONV risk scores should be prioritised. The antiemetic strategy is divided into three areas: modification of the anaesthetic procedure, pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. These can be applied individually or combined in the sense of a multimodal PONV prophylaxis.
