Best Evidence Summary for Postoperative Pain Management in Adult ICU Patients.
Review in Journal of pain research, 2026. 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
Objective: To identify and summarize the best available evidence for postoperative pain management in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients to inform clinical practice. Methods: Using evidence-based nursing methodology, an evidence-based question on postoperative pain management in adult ICUs was formulated. A systematic literature search was conducted. The quality of included literature was appraised, and evidence was graded and extracted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence-based healthcare center's literature quality appraisal criteria and evidence grading system. Results: Eighteen publications were included, comprising 2 clinical decision tools, 4 guidelines, 5 evidence summaries, 4 systematic reviews, and 3 expert consensus documents. Through professional judgment, 35 best evidence recommendations were ultimately synthesized, covering six aspects: pain assessment tools, non-pharmacological pain management measures, pharmacological interventions, dynamic assessment, and quality improvement measures for pain management. Conclusion: This study summarizes the current best evidence for postoperative pain management in adult ICU patients. It can serve as an evidence-based reference for standardizing pain management practices among ICU healthcare professionals, helping to reduce the incidence of patient pain and related complications, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the quality of nursing care.
