Chronic post-surgical pain in older adults: mechanisms, assessment, and management strategies.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in older adults is a multifactorial condition shaped by biological, psychological, and social determinants. This review synthesizes current evidence regarding the underlying mechanisms, clinical assessment, and management strategies for CPSP in the older adults. Key findings emphasize age related changes in pain processing, significant challenges in pain evaluation particularly among those with cognitive impairment, and the limited effectiveness of conventional analgesic therapies. Multimodal and personalized strategies, such as regional anesthesia, tailored pharmacologic interventions, and integrative approaches including acupuncture, demonstrate potential in reducing the incidence and burden of CPSP. Implementing structured assessment protocols and comprehensive geriatric care models is crucial for enhancing postoperative quality of life. Future initiatives should focus on integrating predictive tools, long term monitoring systems, and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve pain related outcomes in this vulnerable population.
