1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

ObjectiveWe aim to investigate the correlation between ongoing pain levels and pain threshold measured by algometry after bariatric surgery.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 150 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, including 120 who received Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and 30 who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. Shortly after surgery, pain was assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and abdominal algometry. Algometry was performed on the most sensitive abdominal pressure points.ResultsPatients reported moderate pain after surgery, with a mean of VAS score of 5.7. The mean abdominal pain threshold was 9.8N. VAS pain scores correlated with algometry (Spearman correlation coefficient -0.35;
