Topical treatments for pain.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Topical analgesics exert their analgesic benefit locally and without significant systemic absorption. The mechanism of the topical analgesic is unique to the specific medication. Key differences between topical and transdermal analgesics are discussed in this article. A new term, targeted peripheral analgesics, has been suggested to replace the term topical analgesics, but is not in widespread use. Topical analgesics have been studied in an increasing number of painful clinical conditions; the results of many of these studies are summarized in this review. Recent data suggest that at least one topical analgesic, although applied peripherally, may result in central nervous system alterations of pain processing.
