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
objectiveIn children and adolescents we investigated the impact of a 3-week inpatient multimodal pain therapy on subjective burden of life, pain intensity, and number of days off from school 3, 6, or 12 months later.
methodsAt the beginning of therapy (inpatient setting) and 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter (outpatient setting) we collected the respective data using standardized questionnaires. For statistical analysis we used Wilcoxon's signed rank test. A p <0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.
resultsA total of 72 patients aged 7.5-18.2 years suffering daily pain entered the study, most of them being diagnosed with somatoform pain disease. After 3, 6, and 12 months, 65, 27, and 30 patients could be reevaluated. Mean pain intensity of the week before data acquisition was significantly less than at the beginning (2.9, 2.3, and 2.9 vs 6.3) as was the mean number of days off from school due to pain during the 4-week period before each day of data acquisition (1.8, 1.5, and 1.4 vs 9.2). Mean subjective burden of life was significantly less than at the beginning (24.5, 22.0, and 25.8 vs 37.8).
conclusionOutpatient multimodal pain therapy has a sustained impact on children and adolescents suffering from chronic pain.
