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

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication that adversely affects patient recovery and satisfaction after surgery. Globally, PONV affects 20-30% of surgical patients and up to 70-80% in high-risk groups. In Ethiopia, reported incidences vary, but a comprehensive assessment is lacking. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of PONV and identify associated risk factors among surgical patients in Ethiopia. Methods: A systematic search identified nine cross-sectional studies published between 2020 and 2024, including 2935 participants from various Ethiopian regions. Data on PONV prevalence and associated risk factors were extracted. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to calculate pooled prevalence and odds ratios (ORs). Heterogeneity was assessed using the Results: The pooled prevalence of PONV in Ethiopia was 28.1% (95% CI: 22.5-35.1%), with significant heterogeneity observed ( Conclusion: PONV remains a significant postoperative complication in Ethiopia, with several key risk factors identified. These findings support targeted risk assessment and prevention strategies to improve patient outcomes. Further research is needed to explore additional risk factors and optimize management in resource-limited settings.
