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

The generation of neuropathic pain is a complex dynamic process. Factors involved include one or more dysregulated sensory neural pathways; dysregulated activity of specific neurotransmitters, synapses, receptors and cognitive and emotional neural circuits; and the balance between degenerative and regenerative neural events. Risk factors include age, sex, cognition, emotions, genetic polymorphism, previous or ongoing chronic pain conditions and the use of certain drugs. Intense pain experienced before, during and after surgery is a risk factor for the development of central sensitization with consequent persistent postsurgery neuropathic pain. Blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors with appropriate drugs during and immediately after surgery may prevent persistent postsurgical pain. Most cancers, but particularly malignant metastases in bone, can induce persistent pain. Local factors including direct damage to sensory nerve fibres, infiltration of nerve roots by cancer cells and algogenic biological agents within the microenvironment of the tumour bring about central sensitization of dorsal horn neurons, characterized by neurochemical reorganization with persistent cancer pain. In this article, the clinical features, pathogenesis and principles of management of persistent postsurgery pain and cancer pain are briefly discussed.
