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
In Germany, about 400,000 people per year are diagnosed with cancer. In the terminal stage of their disease, up to 95% of cancer patients suffer from pain. In earlier stages, this is true for about 50% of patients. It is estimated that 220,000 people in Germany are in need of cancer pain therapy. If the pain therapy is going to be changed, this must be comprehensively discussed with the patient in advance, particularly when strong opioids are used which are mostly indicated in these patients. Opioids are effective and reliable drugs when pain therapy is performed according to the basic principles. It is widely agreed that the WHO analgesic ladder serves as orientation and that the choice of substances must be suited to the cause and pathophysiological type of pain. Even though a variety of other strong opioids is in clinical use, morphine remains the reference substance for efficacy and occurrence of side effects in opioids.
