Opioid analgesics for sedation-based gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Review in World journal of gastrointestinal pharmacology and therapeutics, 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
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a common examination for digestive system. The stimulation of endoscope often causes cough, nausea and vomiting, increased heart rate and blood pressure, arrhythmia, and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, thus makes people fear of this procedure. Sedation or anesthesia can effectively improve the safety, comfort and quality of gastrointestinal endoscopy. A small dose of opioids is a good adjuvant to sedatives. In this narrative review, we summarized the main roles of opioid analgesics in gastrointestinal endoscopy, including reducing visceral pain, throat irritation and the dose of sedatives. Moreover, the frequently used and novel opioids are reviewed. Classic fentanyl, sufentanil and dezocine are preferable by anesthesiologists. Newly approved oliceridine is promising to render ideal analgesic effects for gastrointestinal endoscopy. Clinical studies on oliceridine in endoscopic procedures are urgently needed.
