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

unlabelledThe management of patients with chronic osteoarticular pain requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach. Thirty specialists (orthopedic specialists, rheumatologists, physiatrists), members of the National Association of Osteoarticular Specialists (ASON), attended a specific training course in the use of a standardized medical record designed for the management of osteoarticular pain in outpatients. An audit on 888 medical records was later conducted and it showed that use of this instrument led to an improvement in the diagnostic-therapeutic approach. A complete and accurate medical record compilation process may also promote collaborative interaction among the healthcare practitioners involved and this can result in greater efficiency and continuity of care. ASON recommends expediting the use of electronic tools to facilitate information-sharing among pain care specialists. This study shows that the use of electronic tools facilitates the exchange of information between healthcare providers. ASON supports the adoption of similar instruments in order to improve the management of chronic pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, cross-sectional survey.
