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

Opioids are the most potent drugs for treatment of acute and chronic pain. However, accumulating evidence suggests that opioids may paradoxically also enhance pain, often referred to as opioid-induced hyperalgesia. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia is defined as an increased sensitivity to pain or a decreased pain threshold in response to opioid therapy. Several mechanisms have been proposed to support opioid-induced hyperalgesia. However, it remains unclear whether opioid-induced hyperalgesia develops during continuous chronic application of opioids or on their withdrawal. This review provides a comprehensive summary of clinical research concerning opioid-induced hyperalgesia and the molecular mechanisms of opioid withdrawal and opioid tolerance and other potential mechanisms which might induce hyperalgesia during opioid therapy will be discussed. The status quo of our knowledge will be summarized and the clinical relevance of opioid-induced hyperalgesia will be discussed.
