Pain and dementia: a diagnostic challenge.
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim was to present current knowledge about pain assessment in people with dementia and to discuss special challenges and possible solutions.
methodsA literature search in MEDLINE® was performed.
resultsDue to the changing demographics of an aging population, an increasing number of people with dementia is expected. Many of these people will simultaneously suffer pain. Under-detection and under-treatment of pain in persons suffering from dementia is often described. As dementia progresses, the ability of the sufferer to verbally communicate his/her pain is often compromised, complicating the task of recognizing and treating pain. To improve pain recognition in dementia, many pain assessment tools have been developed. However, psychometric properties have to date been insufficiently examined. IMPLICATIONS: Self-report ratings should be performed as long as justifiable. Behavioural pain assessment tools should be used in advanced dementia despite their current imperfections: in particular, the PAINAD for daily use and the PACSLAC at longer intervals. All available additional information about pain should be considered.
