Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this investigation was to describe the performance profile and the requirements for the management of complex pain patients for the structures of a consultation service. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe content and number of all inpatient consultations of the pain department (as an independent service in addition to acute pain and palliative care services) were evaluated for the period from 2008-2010.
resultsDuring the study, 1,391 contacts were made in 882 patients; in approx. 50% of the consultations diagnostic or specific (interventional) procedures were requested. Beside additional diagnostic tests, physiotherapy (19.2%), psychological and psychiatric care (11.1%), and other therapeutic approaches (e.g., mirror therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, progressive muscle relaxation) or the long-term follow-up in specialized pain service (20.5%) were recommended.
conclusionWithin the scope of the pain consultation, a wide spectrum of pain diagnoses and difficult patients are examined. Mixed forms of acute, chronic, and tumor-related pain are often present. Therapeutically, optimization of only the pharmacological regimen is often not sufficient. Similar requirements for a multimodal diagnosis and therapeutic concept as established in ambulatory and/or specialist care are ultimately needed.
