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

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the quality of postoperative recovery between esketamine-based opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) and opioid-based anesthesia (OBA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair. Patients and Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double-blind, noninferiority trial, 126 adults scheduled for elective laparoscopic TAPP repair were randomized to OFA (n = 63) or OBA (n = 63) group. The OFA group received esketamine (0.5 mg·kg Results: The OFA group showed a higher QoR-15 score at 24 hours postoperatively than the OBA group (median difference: 2; median [IQR]: 129 [125 to 132] vs 127 [123 to 130]; 95% CI, 0 to 4; Conclusion: Esketamine-based OFA provided a noninferior quality of postoperative recovery compared with OBA in patients undergoing laparoscopic TAPP repair, offering a safer alternative to OFA regimens that minimizes opioid-related complications while maintaining perioperative comfort and supporting enhanced recovery.
