Comparison of Opioid-Based and Multimodal Analgesic Regimens for Postoperative Pain Management in Gynecological Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionEffective postoperative pain management is crucial for patient recovery. Traditional opioids cause significant side effects, including dependency risk. Multimodal analgesia targets multiple pain pathways, reducing opioid consumption while improving outcomes.
methodsThis is a prospective study that was conducted over six months at Muhammad Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, with 100 participants undergoing elective gynecological surgery. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either multimodal analgesia or traditional analgesia. Data were collected on VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) pain scores, opioid consumption, adverse effects, and patient satisfaction levels.
resultsPatients in the multimodal group demonstrated significantly lower VAS pain scores at all time points (one hour: 4.1 ± 0.77 vs. 6.4 ± 0.63, p < 0.01; 24 hours: 2.76 ± 0.55 vs. 4.66 ± 0.47, p < 0.01), reduced opioid consumption (6.4 mg vs. 13 mg in the first 24 hours, p < 0.01), and fewer adverse effects including nausea (10% vs. 26%, p < 0.01) and vomiting (8% vs. 26%, p < 0.01) compared to the traditional group.
conclusionMultimodal analgesia is an effective method of pain management that should be offered to postoperative gynecological patients.
