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

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition associating sensory, motor, trophic and autonomic symptoms in one limb. Cognitive difficulties have also been reported, affecting the patients' ability to mentally represent, perceive and use their affected limb. However, the nature of these deficits is still a matter of debate. Recent studies suggest that cognitive deficits are limited to body-related information and body perception, while not extending to external space. Here we challenge that statement, by using temporal order judgment (TOJ) tasks with tactile (i.e. body) or visual (i.e. extra-body) stimuli in patients with upper-limb CRPS. TOJ tasks allow characterizing cognitive biases to the advantage of one of the two sides of space. While the tactile TOJ tasks did not show any significant results, significant cognitive biases were observed in the visual TOJ tasks, affecting mostly the perception of visual stimuli occurring in the immediate vicinity of the affected limb. Our results clearly demonstrate the presence of visuospatial deficits in CRPS, corroborating the cortical contribution to the CRPS pathophysiology, and supporting the utility of developing rehabilitation techniques modifying visuospatial abilities to treat chronic pain.
