Predictors of increased acute postoperative pain after elective minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 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
purposePostoperative acute pain is a major obstacle to archiving key goals in modern perioperative treatment concepts such as ERAS® (enhanced recovery after surgery). Despite a multimodal pain management concept, some patients continue to suffer from severe pain. The aim of this analysis is to identify predictors of severe postoperative pain following elective minimally invasive intestinal surgery.
methodsData from 49 patients, who underwent intestinal resection between April 2021 and March 2022 were used for this purpose. Various pre- and intraoperative characteristics were examined for their influence on pain in the morning in a univariate and multivariate analysis. Increased postoperative pain is defined by a NRS (numerical rating scale) of at least 4 at rest.
resultsIt was found that patients with severe postoperative pain (n = 16) on the first postoperative day (POD) had a significantly higher BDI (Beck Depression Index) score of 16.1 (± 10.46) compared to patients without severe postoperative pain (n = 33) with 8.89 (± 7.03) (p = 0.007). In the multivariate analysis, the BDI score was also significant with an Odds Ratio of 1.14 (CI 95% 1.02-1.29, p = 0.002). On POD 2, patients with increased pain (n = 10) were significantly younger (53.1 years (± 16.40)) than patients without increased pain (n = 39) (65.8 years (± 12.64)) (p = 0.01). This was also confirmed in the multivariate analysis with an Odds Ratio of 1.12 (CI 95% 1.02-1.24, p = 0.019).
conclusionIt was demonstrated that a younger age, higher BDI score and the presence of IBD are significant predictors of severe postoperative pain despite multimodal pain management.
