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
backgroundData of a multimodal pain management program of the multidisciplinary pain management centre at the University Hospital of Dresden is presented. Over a period of 4 weeks, supplemented by an additional week 3 months later (booster week), patients with chronic pain of different origins are being treated in groups of 12. Based on the principles of the biopsychosocial pain model and the idea of functional restoration, the program is dedicated for pain patients where outpatient treatment was insufficient.
methodsThe program was evaluated on the basis of pain intensity (NRS), pain disability (PDI), fear and depression (HADS-D), catastrophizing (CSQ) and health-related quality of life and vitality (SF-36). The data were collected at the beginning and end of the initial 4 week treatment period, at the end of the booster period as well as 6 and 12 months after the end of active treatment.
resultsA total of 189 patients were included in the program in the period from January 2006 until August 2008. All outcome parameter showed statistically significant improvements with small to high effect sizes (ES 0.20-0.95). The results stayed stable even 1 year after the treatment. The highest effect sizes were found in catastrophizing (ES 0.86) and average pain intensity (ES 0.95). The primary pain diagnosis (e. g. low back pain versus headache) had no impact on treatment outcome.
conclusionSignificant and clinically relevant improvements could be achieved with the multimodal pain management program in groups of 12 patients. The results were stable over a time period of 1 year. Pain diagnosis had no impact on the outcome.
