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

Electrical stimulation of the nervous system is a method used for several centuries which just in the past decades received wide recognition as an effective and safe modality in the management of neuropathic pain and other maladies. Explosion of new technologies and discovery of new neuromodulation targets are two parallel and interconnected processes. Using a paraphrase from the famous novel of Samuel Sham, The House of God, one can say that there is no nervous tissue in the human body that cannot be reached with a stimulating lead directed by a good strong arm. Neuromodulation devices are being used for the stimulation of the entire nervous system, from the cutaneous terminals to brain centers. Autonomic regulation is also subject to stimulation via implanted devices. Future research and development is tightly related to the process of discovery, experimental courage, and philosophical exploration of neurobehavioral mechanisms.
