Topical agents for the treatment of chronic pain.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Unlike systemic analgesics, topical analgesics exert their analgesic activity locally and without significant systemic absorption. This is in contrast to transdermal analgesics, which require systemic absorption for clinical benefit. The mechanism of action of a particular topical analgesic is unique to the specific medication being used as a topical analgesic. Topical analgesics have been studied in an increasing number of painful clinical conditions, and the results of some of these studies are summarized in this article. The potential role of topical analgesics acting peripherally in affecting the central processing of pain as well as painful states considered to be "central," not "peripheral," also are reviewed.
