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
Purpose: Optimizing acute postoperative pain management requires understanding current practices and outcomes within local contexts. This study investigated the variability of postoperative pain management practices and outcomes in Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive multicenter observational study was conducted among patients undergoing elective surgery. Data collected included demographics, type of surgery, anesthesia, analgesics, pain intensity (preoperatively, in the recovery room, and 24 h postoperatively), patient satisfaction, and side effects. Correlation analyses were performed (α = 0.05 and 95% CI). Results: Among 6767 patients, orthopedic surgeries were the most common, with 94.3% receiving single anesthesia, primarily general anesthesia (75.3%). Analgesia was administered using either a single modality (24.2%) or a combination of modalities (75.8%), with combined analgesia predominantly applied intraoperatively (36.6%) and postoperatively (56.4%). Across all age groups, including neonates and infants ( Conclusion: Combined analgesia is an effective approach to managing postoperative acute pain, with high patient satisfaction. Demographic characteristics showed significant associations with postoperative pain management outcomes, underscoring the need for individualized pain management strategies.
