1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBreast cancer surgery often leads to acute postoperative pain that affects early recovery. Electroacupuncture (EA) is a potential adjunct to analgesics such as flurbiprofen axetil (FA), but evidence on its perioperative benefits remains limited.

aimTo investigate the effects of EA combined with FA on postoperative pain and early functional recovery after breast cancer surgery.

methodsA total of 130 patients with breast cancer were randomly divided into EA group (

resultsCompared with the control group, the EA group lowered the incidence of moderate-to-severe movement-evoked pain at 24 hours postoperatively (

conclusionEA combined with flurbiprofen FA can reduce the occurrence of postoperative pain and complications, improve early postoperative functional recovery after breast cancer surgery.
