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
introductionThe interference of biological, social, and psychological factors of the patient, collectively known as the biopsychosocial perspective, plays an important role in the chronification of postsurgical pain. The aim of this pilot study was to detect whether patients suffering from chronic pain without a relationship to a recent operation (CP) differ from chronic pain patients whose pain exists since a recent operation and is related with it (CPSP) in these factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsA step-by-step analysis of patients with chronic pain was conducted via a questionnaire of 36 questions in which mental state, pain, fear, and depression [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Deutsche Version (HADS-D), Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire (CPGQ, von Korff), SF-12, McGill Pain Questionnaire (sensoric/affective)] were surveyed. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Fisher's exact test for counts, U test for continuous variables; group comparisons with: χ(2) test; p < 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsOn average 29 months postoperatively (24-35 ± 3.5 months), 113 chronic pain patients were analyzed. A group comparison between the CPSP group (n = 73 with chronic postsurgical pain) and the group CP (n = 29 with chronic pain) was conducted. Both groups showed highly significant reductions of SF-12 data compared to a German normal collective (p < 0.001), but normal results regarding depression in the HADS-D and a moderately limiting, highly pain-related limitation in the CPGQ (von Korff III). No differences in the sensoric and affective parameters of the McGill Pain Questionnaire were found. Compared with the CPSP group, the CP group demonstrated higher pain intensities (p = 0.022).
conclusionRegarding these results critically, there were no group differences concerning psychological and social patient factors in chronic pain patients with or without postsurgical pain.
