Can we improve the existing management of pain after cesarean delivery at Eastern Regional Referral Hospital? A retrospective study.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 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
backgroundPain after surgery is generally considered undertreated worldwide. This may be because of insufficient skills in the management of pain. Inadequate management of pain after cesarean delivery (CD) can adversely affect the well-being of both mothers and newborns, potentially leading to a higher incidence of chronic post-operative pain. This study aimed to review the existing management of pain associated with CD and identify gaps for future improvement in the quality of pain care at Eastern Regional Referral Hospital (ERRH).
methodsThis retrospective review of the management of pain after CDs, was conducted between December 2017 and December 2018 at ERRH, Bhutan. A total of 107 CDs were reviewed.
resultsOf the 107 patients reviewed, only 2% had received analgesics before surgery, and 20% of them during surgery. The majority of the patients (63%) has received a single injection of diclofenac sodium, followed by oral ibuprofen (56%) on the following day.
conclusionsDespite the availability of resources, the present review revealed that the existing management of pain after CDs was mostly a single-drug therapy, mainly focusing on only post-operative period.
