The use of neuroimaging to advance the understanding of chronic pain: from description to mechanism.
Article in Psychosomatic medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Functional imaging has comprehensively demonstrated that pain involves a number of cortical regions that are often collectively referred to as the pain neuromatrix. This neuromatrix is assumed to be necessary to process the sensory, affective, and cognitive components of pain. Patients who report pain in the apparent absence of injury or disease may experience their symptoms because of dysfunction in one or more components of the pain neuromatrix. Two articles in this edition of Psychosomatic Medicine explore that possibility and provide evidence of altered neural connectivity and activation within components of the pain neuromatrix in patients with low back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. Questions remain as to how best to transition from describing the neural correlates of disease to understanding mechanisms and providing treatments.
