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
backgroundPain medicine as an interdisciplinary, multifaceted field has not yet been assigned the status of a separate medical subject in the curriculum of medical schools in Germany. Pain medicine is often taught by anesthesiologists, neurologists, orthopedic or neurological surgeons either by assignment by the Dean’s office or because of their own enthusiasm. In the near future pain medicine as an interdisciplinary course will be mandatory in undergraduate medical education. The authors were interested to investigate the needs and demands of both students and instructors from theoretical and clinical fields in order to develop a longitudinal pain medicine curriculum.
methodsBased on Kern’s curriculum development model, the opinions of students and instructors were investigated: quantitative items were analyzed using Student’s t-test for independent variables and heterogenic variance and the content of free text answers was analyzed by forming subsets of similar or identical answers. A concise curriculum was developed.
resultsStudents from advanced classes noted a bigger discrepancy between the needs formulated and what was actually offered as compared to younger students. Instructors from different theoretical and clinical specialties were unaware of the topics of colleagues from other departments. The analysis of written answers revealed a different understanding of the term pain medicine.
conclusionAt the Hannover Medical School, a standardized needs assessment helped to develop LoMoS, the longitudinal pain medicine curriculum, which may also serve as a model for other medical faculties. Students required more practical instruction and teachers were interested in improving networking and discussion among specialists.
