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: Postoperative nausea and vomiting is a prevalent complication during the postoperative phase. Numerous factors affect postoperative nausea and vomiting, which can be categorized into patient-related, anesthesia-related, and surgery-related factors. The management of postoperative nausea and vomiting is multifaceted and consists of both prophylactic and therapeutic approaches. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the attitudes and behaviors of anesthesiologists regarding the prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting, while also raising awareness of current practices and gaps in adherence to guideline-based management. Methods: This prospective observational study involved the online administration of a web-based questionnaire comprising 17 questions to physicians actively working in anesthesiology and reanimation clinics. The first five questions pertained to demographic data, while the remaining 12 questions assessed anesthesiologists' attitudes and behaviors regarding the prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Results: The rate of missing to conduct postoperative nausea and vomiting risk assessments and not providing prophylaxis ( Conclusions: This study demonstrates that, in current clinical practice, postoperative nausea and vomiting risk assessment and prophylaxis remain an overlooked complication. A clear gap exists between awareness and evidence-based practice in postoperative nausea and vomiting management. Therefore, the most appropriate prophylaxis and treatment strategies should be identified on a patient-specific basis. These findings highlight the need for structured risk assessment and guideline-based prophylaxis strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
