Central post-stroke pain: predictors and relationship with magnetic resonance imaging and somatosensory evoked potentials.
Article in The Egyptian journal of neurology, psychiatry and neurosurgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 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
backgroundCentral post-stroke pain (CPSP) is an under-recognized complication of stroke although it can lead to deterioration in quality of life and impairment in activities of daily living. Its estimated prevalence varies between 18.6 and 49%.
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence and predictors of CPSP in ischemic stroke patients and to find its relationship with somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and magnetic resonance imaging. PATIENTS AND
methodsSixty five consecutive patients with recent first attack of ischemic stroke who were admitted to the Neurology Department, Suez Canal University Hospitals were recruited. Patients were subjected to clinical assessment, Hamilton depression rating scale, brain MRI, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), daily pain rating scale (DPRS), stimulus evoked pain, and SSEPs.
resultsThe total prevalence rate of CPSP was 35.4% (
conclusionThe prevalence of CPSP was found to be 35.4%. Predictors of CPSP include; deep sensory dysfunction, prolongation of tibial N21-P40 IPL, smoking history, age < 50 years, presence of thalamic stroke and prolongation of median N9-N20 IPL.
