Chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy: Prevalence of pain and impact on quality of life.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimChronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) is a term describing axonal neuropathies of insidious onset, with slow or no progression of the disease over at least 6 months and with no etiology being identified despite appropriate investigations. We aimed to establish the prevalence of pain in patients with CIAP and investigate the impact of pain on quality of life (QoL).
methodsAll consecutive patients with CIAP attending a specialist neuropathy clinic were invited to participate. Pain was assessed via the DN4 questionnaire and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (ONLS) was used to assess the severity of neuropathy. The SF-36 questionnaire was used to measure participants' quality of life.
resultsFifty-five patients with CIAP were recruited (63.6% male, mean age 73.4 ± 8.7 years). Based on the DN4 questionnaire, peripheral neuropathic pain was present in 33 patients (60.0%). After having adjusted for age, gender and disease severity pain showed significant negative correlations with the energy/fatigue domain of QoL (β = -0.259, p = 0.049), with the emotional well-being domain (β = -0.368, p = 0.007) and the general health perception domain (β = -0.356, p = 0.007).
conclusionPain is very prevalent in CIAP and is associated with poorer emotional well-being, worse general health perception, and increased fatigue.
