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

introductionOne of the key targets for metastatic cancer cells is the skeleton. Once metastatic cells are established within the bone matrix, skeletal integrity becomes increasingly compromised. Bone lesions lead to various complications, including bone pain, fractures and spinal cord compression. MECHANISMS OF BONE PAIN: Bone pain is debilitating and affects quality of life of the patient. In addition, it increases the use of health care resources. Many patients with metastatic bone disease experience substantial bone pain despite state-of-the-art systemic analgesic treatment. Incident pain is the predominant pain syndrome. TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR BONE PAIN: Typically, this syndrome requires moderate baseline analgesia with increased on-demand doses. Other techniques for treating bone pain, including radiation therapy, neuraxial application of analgesics, nerve blocks and local stabilisation procedures, should be considered. In addition, therapy with bisphosphonates targeting bone-specific pain is an important strategy. This review discusses the various management options for bone pain arising from metastatic bone disease.
