A Prediction model for moderate-to-severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial ambulatory surgery.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundTo enhance hospital efficiency, ambulatory surgery (AS) has emerged and flourished in China. Oral and maxillofacial surgeries, particularly procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction in the field of alveolar surgery, are well-suited for AS. However, in clinical practice, it has been observed that patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial AS have a relatively high incidence of acute postsurgical pain (APSP). Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to develop and validate a predictive model for moderate-to-severe APSP following oral and maxillofacial surgery.
methodsFour hundred forty-five patients who received AS (e.g., extraction of impacted tooth, enucleation of jaw cyst, arthroscopic disc repositioning, excision of superficial oral lesion, etc.) at Nanjing Medical University's Affiliated Stomatological Hospital between June 2024 and January 2025 were retrospectively evaluated. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and univariate analysis were employed to identify predictors in the training set. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to construct the predictive model. Bootstrap resampling was applied for internal model validation, and the temporal validation cohort included 73 July 2025 AS patients at the same center.
resultsIn this study, sex, age, smoking history, and intraoperative use of tropisetron were identified as independent risk variables. The area under the curve (AUC) for the prediction model was 0.7443, 0.7308, and 0.725 in training, internal validation and temporal validation sets. The AUC value ranged from 0.73 to 0.75, indicating that the model has moderate discriminative ability.
conclusionOur findings indicate that age, gender, smoking history, and intraoperative tropisetron use were associated with moderate-to-severe APSP within 24 h after ambulatory oral and maxillofacial surgery. A well-performing prediction model was developed and validated to estimate the risk of APSP in these patients.
