Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06587919 (Improving Dysregulated Neural Networks With EEG-neurofeedback - A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 91 papers, 12 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo summarize evidence for the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among persons with chronic pain (CP).

methodsWe searched databases for studies published between January 1995 and December 2016, reporting the prevalence of PTSD in persons with CP. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. We calculated the pooled prevalence using a random-effects model and performed subgroup analyses according to pain location, the population and assessment method.

resultsTwenty-one studies were included and the PTSD prevalence varied from 0-57%, with a pooled mean prevalence of 9.7%, 95% CI (5.2-17.1). In subgroup analysis, the PTSD prevalence was 20.5%, 95% CI (9.5-39.0) among persons with chronic widespread pain, 11.2%, 95% CI (5.7-22.8) among persons with headache, and 0.3%, 95% CI (0.0-2.4) among persons with back pain. The prevalence in clinical populations was 11.7%, 95% CI (6.0-21.5) and in non-clinical populations 5.1%, 95% CI (0.01-17.2). In studies of self-reported PTSD symptoms, PTSD prevalence was 20.4%, 95% CI (10.6-35.5), and in studies where structured clinical interviews had been used to assess PTSD its prevalence was 4.5%, 95% (CI 2.1-9.3). The risk of bias was medium for most studies and the heterogeneity was high (

conclusionPTSD is overall more prevalent in clinical cohorts of persons with CP and particularly in those with widespread pain, but may not always be more prevalent in non-clinical samples of persons with CP, compared to the general population. There is a large heterogeneity in prevalence across studies. Future research should identify sources of heterogeneity and the mechanisms underlying the comorbidity of the two conditions.
