Pain control and adverse effects of parecoxib after wisdom teeth surgery: a quantitative systematic review.
Synthesis in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
purposeThe objective of this systematic review was to determine the analgesic efficacy and safety profile of parecoxib in oral surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in Medline, Scopus, and Embase to locate clinical trials comparing parecoxib with placebo in third molar surgery. The potential for bias in each included study was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool, and data were extracted on the number of patients experiencing onset of analgesia, the number of patients requiring rescue medication, the overall assessment of the study drugs, and the number of subjects with nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and headache. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Management 5.3 software.
resultsThe results show that patients receiving the 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg doses had better analgesic efficacy compared to those receiving placebo after third molar surgery. Adverse event assessments were similar between the two treatment groups.
conclusionParenteral parecoxib induces high-potency postoperative analgesia, which is effective in managing common postoperative complications following third molar extraction. Furthermore, NNT values and ranges are provided for the analgesic efficacy variables evaluated in this systematic review, allowing clinicians to make informed decisions if multiple analgesics are available for consultation.
