Effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on recovery after internal spinal fixation: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study investigated the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing internal spinal-fixation surgery.
methodsSeventy-four patients scheduled for elective internal spinal fixation surgery at the First People's Hospital of Pinghu City between August 2024 and April 2025 were enrolled. Patients were aged 19-78 years, of either gender, with American Society of Anesthesiologists class II or III and a body mass index of 17-33 kg/m
resultsGroup T had significantly higher QoR-15 scores at both 24 h and 3 d postoperatively, lower intraoperative remifentanil consumption, longer time to first postoperative use of the analgesic pump, lower opioid consumption during the 72 h postoperative period, and higher satisfaction scores at discharge (P < 0.05), than Group G.
conclusionsTEAS improves the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing internal spinal-fixation surgery.
