Comparison of oral versus rectal NSAIDs for perioperative analgesia in pediatric circumcision using a disposable circumcision suture device: a randomized controlled trial.

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 aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of rectally administered diclofenac sodium suppositories during the perioperative period of pediatric circumcision using a disposable circumcision suture device (DCSD), and to provide guidance on their safe and effective use in pediatric practice.
methodsIn this prospective randomized controlled trial, 140 boys aged 7-12 years undergoing DCSD circumcision were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 70; rectal diclofenac sodium, 1 mg/kg) or the control group (n = 70; oral ibuprofen, 10 mg/kg). All patients received local penile root block anesthesia with lidocaine. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) by trained nurses blinded to group allocation, with parental assistance to minimize bias. Rescue analgesia use, adverse events, and postoperative sleep quality were also recorded.
resultsReductions in VAS scores at scheduled time points did not differ significantly between groups, indicating comparable short-term analgesic efficacy. However, the diclofenac group required fewer rescue interventions, experienced a lower incidence of adverse events (10.0% vs. 30.0%), and demonstrated better postoperative sleep quality. Administration before dressing changes also improved patient cooperation.
conclusionRectal diclofenac sodium suppositories are an effective and well-tolerated option for perioperative analgesia in pediatric circumcision using DCSD, providing improved comfort, sleep quality, and caregiver satisfaction compared to oral ibuprofen. However, due to the study's single-center design, short follow-up period, and the use of different NSAIDs between groups, the results should be interpreted with caution. Larger multicenter trials are necessary to confirm these findings and inform broader clinical application.
