Vulvodynia: Current state of the biological science.

In one paragraph
Review in Pain, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 37 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.
An Open-Label, Interventional, Not Controlled Pilot Study to Assess Vestibular Mucosa Thickness by Ultrasound Evaluation and Vestibular Perception Thresholds Changes in Women Affected by Vestibulodynia (VBD) After One Cycle of Pixel CO2-Alma Fractionated Laser
Psychological Layers of Nociplastic Pain: Cluster Analysis of The Role of Personality Traits, Defence Mechanisms, Central Sensitization, and Childhood Traumatic Experiences in Patients With Chronic Migraine, Fibromyalgia, and Vulvodynia
