Comparative study of epidural ropivacaine and bupivacaine with fentanyl in abdominal surgery.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The efficacy of equal doses of ropivacaine and bupivacaine with fentanyl as continuous epidural infusions for postoperative analgesia in abdominal surgeries is of interest. Sixty patients were randomized into two groups receiving either ropivacaine or bupivacaine with fentanyl intra-operatively and postoperatively. Sensory and motor blocks, hemodynamic parameters, and pain scores were monitored for 24 hours after surgery. Both groups showed similar sensory and motor block characteristics and recovery profiles with comparable drug dosages. We conclude that ropivacaine and bupivacaine can be used interchangeably as epidural infusions for effective postoperative analgesia with stable hemodynamic and no major complications.
