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

unlabelledWhen the pathophysiology of a medical condition is multimodal, ie, related to multiple physiological causes or mediated by multiple pathways, the optimal strategy can be to use a drug or a combination of drugs that contribute multiple mechanisms to the therapeutic endpoint. In such situations, a rational multimodal approach can also result in the fewest adverse effects. We discuss the quantitative analysis of multimodal action using the treatment of pain as a practical example and give examples of its application to some widely used analgesic drugs. PERSPECTIVE: This article reviews the medical relevance of the quantitative evaluation of drug combinations, using pain and combinations of analgesics as specific examples. Such measure can help clinicians who seek to maximize therapeutic effect while simultaneously minimizing adverse effects.
