Efficacy of preemptive intravenous ibuprofen and dexketoprofen on postoperative opioid consumption in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Randomized controlled study.
Trial report in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundTo compare the effects of preemptive single-dose intravenous (IV) ibuprofen and dexketoprofen on postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCC).
methodsThe study included 90 patients aged 18-65 years with an ASA score of I or II who underwent LCC. Patients were equally divided into three groups: Control Group (Group P), 100 cc 0.9% NaCl was infused intravenously over 30 min, Dexketoprofen Group (Group D), 50 mg dexketoprofen in 100 cc 0.9% NaCl was infused intravenously over 30 min, and Ibuprofen Group (Group I), 800 mg ibuprofen in 100 cc 0.9% NaCl was administered intravenously over 30 min. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores and opioid requirement were recorded at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the Dexketoprofen and Ibuprofen groups with regard to VAS scores, whereas VAS scores were higher in the control group than other groups in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th,12th, and 24th hours. In addition, fentanyl consumption was higher in the control group at 0-6 hours and at 24 hours compared to the other two groups.
conclusionPreemptive ibuprofen and dexketoprofen administration reduce pain scores and opioid consumption compared with the control group, however, they are non-inferiority to each other.
