The effect of non-opioid multimodal analgesics and dexamethasone monotherapy on acute incisional pain behaviors in rats.

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 use of non-opioid multimodal analgesics (NMA) may enhance pain relief and decrease opioid dependence in managing acute incisional pain, although this remains debated. A clinical trial found NMA ineffective compared to placebo, prompting us to investigate its impact on pain-like behaviors in animal models. In our study, 12 rats underwent plantar incision surgery and were divided into two groups: NMA and vehicle. NMA comprised acetaminophen, celecoxib, gabapentin, and dextromethorphan, with dosages based on human equivalents. We measured paw withdrawal latency (PWL), paw withdrawal threshold (PWT), and spontaneous foot lifting (SFL) behaviors. Before injection, there were no significant differences between the groups in PWL, PWT, or SFL. After treatment, PWL increased in NMA-injected rats (9.8 ± 2.2 s) compared to vehicle (5.9 ± 2.7 s;
