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

Post-operative pain remains inadequately controlled in many tertiary hospitals despite widespread adoption of multimodal analgesia protocols and real-world adherence often differs from guideline recommendations. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate post-operative pain intensity, multimodal analgesic use and patient satisfaction among 220 adults undergoing elective surgery. Mean VAS scores peaked at 6 hours (6.3 ± 1.4) and declined significantly by 24 hours (3.1 ± 0.9) and 48 hours (1.7 ± 0.6), with triple-drug combinations producing superior pain reduction compared to dual or single-agent regimens (p < 0.05). Higher satisfaction was strongly correlated with lower pain scores (r = -0.67, p < 0.001) and delayed analgesic administration was significantly associated with breakthrough pain episodes. Thus, we show that protocol adherence and timely multimodal administration, rather than regimen presence alone, determine post-operative comfort and functional recovery.
