EFFECT OF REPETITIVE PERIPHERAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION ON POSTOPERATIVE PAIN CONTROL IN FOOT AND ANKLE SURGERY.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (rPMS) treatment on postoperative pain control after foot and ankle surgeries. Methods: A controlled, randomized clinical trial conducted at a tertiary hospital. 67 patients who underwent foot and ankle surgeries were randomized into two groups: a control group (CG) - placebo stimulation; and an experimental group (EG) - rPMS for 10 minutes using an intermittent stimulation protocol (10 cycles/5 seconds; 100 Hz; 55 seconds of rest). Stimulation was received for 5 consecutive days in the immediate postoperative period. Neuropathic Pain Score 4 (DN4), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) were administered on days D0, D5, D14, D30, and D90. Postoperative opioid consumption was compared between the groups. Results: The most prevalent surgeries were in the forefoot (n=25). On DN4, the predominant pain was nociceptive (3.40 ± 1.54). Regarding pain, the VAS, BPI, and AOFAS scores demonstrated superior improvement in pain perception in the EG compared to the CG, with statistical significance. rPMS reduced postoperative opioid consumption. Conclusion: rPMS contributes to the control and reduction of pain perception and opioid consumption in the postoperative period of foot and ankle surgeries.
