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

purposeCutaneous sympathetic pathophysiology in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is not yet completely understood. To evaluate cutaneous sympathetic dysfunction in CRPS-1, we evaluated sympathetic sweat response (SSwR) and skin vasomotor reflex (SkVR) in CRPS-1 patients.

methodsWe studied 10 CRPS-1 patients (age 41 ± 13 years; 5 females and 5 males; disease duration 20 ± 22 months) and 10 healthy subjects (age 44 ± 13 years; 3 females and 7 males). SkVRs and SSwRs to several sympathetic activating procedures were recorded on the palms of the CRPS-1 patients (affected side) and controls (right side).

resultsThere were no significant differences in the baselines of sweat output and skin blood flow between the CRPS-1 and control groups. SSwR and SkVR amplitudes were significantly lower in the CRPS-1 group than in the control group. There was no significant correlation between disease duration and SSwR or SkVR amplitudes among the patients.

conclusionsThe reduced SSwRs and SkVRs in the affected limb of our CRPS-1 patients may reflect underlying damage to the sympathetic postganglionic fibres.
