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
backgroundRevisional upper eyelid blepharoplasty is often associated with scar-related hyperalgesia and poor tolerance to local anesthesia, which may compromise intraoperative stability and patient experience. This study evaluated whether a multimodal intravenous conscious analgesia protocol based on oliceridine and alfentanil combined with local anesthesia improves perioperative comfort compared with local anesthesia alone.
methodsIn this prospective randomized clinical trial conducted between January 2023 and January 2025, 132 patients undergoing revisional upper blepharoplasty were assigned to receive either multimodal conscious analgesia (oliceridine plus low-dose alfentanil with local anesthesia, n=72) or local anesthesia alone (n=60). Primary outcomes included intraoperative pain scores and reflex tearing. Secondary outcomes included operative stability, postoperative tissue reactions, patient-reported outcomes, and safety.
resultsPatients receiving combined anesthesia reported significantly lower pain scores at all perioperative time points (P < 0.05) and a markedly reduced incidence of reflex tearing compared with controls (6.9% vs 75.0%, P < 0.001). Excessive body movements were also less frequent (14.6% vs 80.0%, P < 0.001). Postoperatively, periorbital swelling and ecchymosis were significantly improved at day 7 (P < 0.05), and FACE-Q intraoperative comfort scores at 3 months were higher in the combined group (88.6 ± 6.2 vs 76.4 ± 9.7, P < 0.001). No severe adverse events occurred in either group.
conclusionsMultimodal opioid-based conscious analgesia combined with local anesthesia provides improved intraoperative comfort and early recovery in revisional blepharoplasty while preserving patient cooperation. Further studies are required to delineate the independent contribution of individual agents and to compare this strategy with established sedation protocols.
