Analgesic effect of premixed nitrous oxide/oxygen on removal of vacuum assisted closure dressings: randomized controlled trial study protocol.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundVacuum assisted closure (VAC) is an effective treatment that promotes wound healing in clinical practice. However, the pain caused by Vacuum assisted closure VAC dressing removal is still a challenge for patients and medical staff. The purpose of this study was to investigate the analgesic effect and safety of premixed nitrous oxide/oxygen in the treatment of pain caused by VAC dressing removal. METHODS/
designThis study is a single center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. A total of 100 patients requiring VAC dressing removal were recruited and randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will receive routine treatment plus a premixed nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture, and the control group will receive routine treatment plus oxygen. Participants and researchers are all blind to the operation process. The results of each group will be monitored at baseline (T0), 5 min after intervention (T1), and 5 min after finishing intervention (T2), 15 min after finishing intervention (T3). The primary outcome measure was pain intensity. Secondary outcomes included physiological parameters, adverse reactions, operators, and patients' satisfaction. DISCUSSION: This study will explore the analgesic effect of oxide/oxygen mixture on VAC dressing removal. If it is beneficial to patients with VAC dressing change, it will be helpful for pain management of VAC dressing removal.
