Trial report in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundMultimodal therapy has been established for patients with chronic low back pain, but studies reporting results in patients with chronic neck pain are rare.
methodsThis prospective clinical study compared the results in 97 patients with chronic cervical pain and 231 patients with chronic lumbar pain after three weeks of multimodal therapy. The following factors were analyzed in both groups at the beginning and after 6 months: ability to work, pain intensity and functional back capacity.
resultsBoth groups had improved significantly after 6 months in all outcome parameters. Functional back capacity and ability to work at 6 months were not different between the two groups, but pain intensity was significantly lower in patients with low back pain compared to patients with neck pain.
conclusionMultimodal therapy is also an efficient treatment strategy for patients with chronic cervical pain as has already been shown for patients with chronic lumbar pain.
