Perioperative flurbiprofen axetil use and postoperative intestinal complications in elderly patients undergoing radical colorectal surgery.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To investigate the association between perioperative flurbiprofen axetil administration and postoperative intestinal complications in elderly patients undergoing radical colorectal surgery. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of elderly patients who underwent primary radical colorectal surgery at Peking University People's Hospital between November 2018 and March 2022. Data on patient demographics, surgical characteristics, perioperative medication use, and postoperative intestinal complications were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with postoperative intestinal complications. To minimize potential confounding, inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity scores was applied. Results: A total of 453 patients were included in the final analysis, among whom 54 (11.9%) developed postoperative intestinal complications. These complications comprised postoperative ileus (36 pts, 7.9%), anastomotic leakage (17 pts, 3.8%), and chylous fistula (3 pts, 0.7%). Perioperative flurbiprofen axetil use was significantly associated with a higher risk of postoperative intestinal complications ( Conclusion: Perioperative use of flurbiprofen axetil may be associated with an increased risk of postoperative intestinal complications in elderly patients undergoing radical colorectal surgery. Further prospective studies with larger sample sizes and dose-stratified analyses are warranted to confirm these findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.
