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

Algodystrophy, nowadays called CRPS I, is a painful syndrome characterized by sensory and vasomotor disturbance, edema and functional impairment. Significant progress in knowledge about the pathogenic mechanisms of the disease have been recently achieved, but they are not yet fully understood and some clinical aspects are still lacking of a whole pathogenetic comprehension. The local release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides and some cytokines may be the event that triggers and maintains the disease, causing hyperalgesia and allodynia. In the following phases, the impaired capillary permeability, the interstitial edema and the consequent hypoxia and local acidosis have been proposed as possible pathophysiological pathways. The local hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system supposed in the past has not be confirmed and the hypothesis of an altered nociceptive processing at CNS level has limited evidences in acute phases of the disease. The steady bone involvement could be confirmed by the efficacy of bisphosphonates in the treatment of early disease.
