Epidemiological, methodological, and statistical characteristics of network meta-analysis in anaesthesia: a systematic review

Herman Sehmbi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the epidemiological, methodological, and statistical characteristics of anaesthesia network meta-analyses (NMAs). The compliance of anaesthesia NMAs was found to be low in several aspects, including protocol registration, use of PRISMA-NMA, publication bias assessment, evidence appraisal, reporting of Bayesian methodology, and consistency evaluation. The authors recommend that anaesthesia journals should mandate protocol registration and the use of PRISMA-NMA for reporting NMAs.

Flawed, futile, and fabricateddfeatures that limit confidence in clinical research in pain and anaesthesia: a narrative review

Andrew Moore et al.

Summary: The randomised controlled trial, the foundation of clinical research, is often flawed in design, conduct, and reporting, leading to concerns about its trustworthiness. Common flaws include bias, small sample sizes, irrelevant outcomes, and inability to detect efficacy. Some trials have been fabricated, with the fields of anaesthesia and pain having a larger number. This review highlights the need for special measures to improve the quality and confidence of clinical evidence.

Preventing persistent postsurgical pain: A systematic review and component network meta-analysis

Claire Allen et al.

Summary: This study used component network meta-analysis to compare different interventions for preventing persistent postsurgical pain (PPP), including pharmacological and neural block techniques, as well as multimodal interventions. The results showed that serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), neural block alone, or in combination with NMDA receptor blockers or gabapentanoids were effective compared to placebo. Immediate postoperative benefits were found to be an important factor in reducing the risk of PPP.

ROB-MEN: a tool to assess risk of bias due to missing evidence in network meta-analysis

Virginia Chiocchia et al.

Summary: ROB-MEN is a tool designed to assess the risk of bias due to missing evidence in network meta-analysis, applicable to networks of varying sizes and geometries. The methodology of ROB-MEN has been outlined through step-by-step instructions and validated through application to existing studies, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Methodologies for systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials in pain, anaesthesia, and perioperative medicine

Brett Doleman et al.

Summary: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are becoming more popular, but there are concerns about the certainty of evidence, bias risks, random errors, and publication bias. However, recent methodological advances offer potential solutions to improve evidence certainty and reduce these concerns.

Pharmacotherapy for the Prevention of Chronic Pain after Surgery in Adults: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Meg E. Carley et al.

Summary: This systematic review update evaluated the effectiveness of systemic drugs to prevent chronic postsurgical pain, with some drugs showing potential to reduce prevalence of chronic postsurgical pain, but their clinical relevance remains unclear. Despite the importance of chronic postsurgical pain, little progress has been made since 2013, likely due to limitations in study designs.
