[Long-term efficacy of multimodal pain therapy for chronic back pain].
Article in Der Nervenarzt, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe day clinic for pain therapy at the Orthopedic Clinic of the University Heidelberg has been in existence since 2001. In the context of multimodal pain therapy patients with chronic and chronically recurring pain of the musculoskeletal system are treated.
methodsThe present prospective long-term study investigated the effects of therapy using the following outcome parameters: pain intensity, disability, depression, functional capacity and vitality. For this purpose patients with low back pain (n = 59) were questioned in writing at four measurement times: start of therapy (t0), completion of therapy (t1), 6 months (t2) and 10 years (t3) following therapy. Of the examined patients 78% were in chronification stages I and II, according to the Mainz pain staging system (MPSS) of Gerbershagen.
aimThe main aim of the study was to examine the effects of multimodal pain therapy in the long term.
resultsIn the short, medium and long term significant differences were found in the outcome parameters with low to high effect sizes (d = 0.36-1.85). There was a continuous improvement of the pain intensity in the long term, and 10 years after pain therapy the effect size for the currently asked pain intensity was d = 1.28.
conclusionMultimodal pain therapy is an effective method for the treatment of chronic back pain. It not only leads to short and medium-term improvements but also proves to be efficient in the long term. This form of pain therapy seems to lead to long-term success, particularly for patients with low-grade chronification.
