Scalp block versus intravenous parecoxib for post-operative cranioplasty surgery pain: A comparison of pain scores and morphine requirements.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: The cranioplasty surgery causes significant post-operative pain. Opioids are the first-line analgesic, but their side effects limit their use, thus favoring analgesia of the non-opioids group, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, scalp block, and paracetamol. We aimed to compare the post-cranioplasty pain scores between scalp block and conventional analgesia using intravenous (IV) parecoxib and morphine requirement as rescue analgesia. Methods: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial involved 42 patients who underwent elective cranioplasty into two groups: Scalp block ( Results: Scalp block significantly reduced pain score at the 1 Conclusion: The scalp block reduced pain scores at the 1
