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
Background: Spinal anesthesia is a common technique for lower abdominal and limb surgeries, offering advantages such as rapid onset, and fewer systemic complications compared to general anesthesia. However, postoperative challenges including delayed wound healing, pain, impaired gastric motility, anxiety, and sleep disturbances remain prevalent. Standard pharmacological regimens (e.g., bupivacaine, paracetamol, tramadol, ondansetron, and pantoprazole) address these issues, but integrating structured nursing care pathways may optimize recovery. Aim: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured nursing care pathway combined with standard pharmacological management on biophysiological (wound healing, pain, gastric motility) and psychological (anxiety, sleep quality) outcomes in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test control group study was conducted among 20 patients undergoing spinal anesthesia (control = 10, experimental = 10). Both groups received standard pharmacological therapy, while the experimental group additionally received a structured nursing care pathway. Outcomes including wound healing, pain, gastric motility, anxiety, and sleep quality were assessed using validated scales and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Chi-square tests ( Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements in all outcomes post-intervention ( Conclusion: Integrating structured nursing care pathways with pharmacological management enhances postoperative recovery, reducing complications, and improving patient well-being. Larger randomized trials are recommended to confirm these findings.
