Postoperative pain management after ureteroscopy: focused approaches to reducing opiate dependence.
Review in Pain management, 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
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a common urological procedure performed to treat nephrolithiasis, but postoperative pain often leads to patient inquires, unplanned emergency department visits, or readmissions. Effective pain management is essential for improving recovery, reducing adverse symptoms, and enhancing patient satisfaction. Due to concern for opioid dependency, urologists have increasingly focused on alternative methods for pain relief, emphasizing multimodal analgesia. This narrative review, based on a PubMED search from January 2025-February 2025, examines alternative strategies for pain management. Recent studies show benefits of combining medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS), alpha-blockers, and anticholinergics to reduce opioid dependence. Identifying the most appropriate analgesics following URS remains a challenge, with the primary goal to optimize recovery to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
