1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Chronic pain is one of the most frequent complaints in outclinic supply. Careful anamnesis and physical examination are in the focus of diagnostic procedure. Their results will give strong evidence for the underlying pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the perception of pain remains completely subjective and can be only measured by asking the patient. Therefore, a multitude of validated instruments has been developed ranging from the simple intensity rating scales up to sophisticated questionnaires. Both, the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures should adhere to the bio-psycho-social concept of pain. Medical treatment should be executed in accordance to the WHO Guidelines for Cancer Pain Treatment. But for the majority of patients, multidisciplinary concepts are required including psychotherapy and iatrophysics.
