Article in The Clinical journal of pain, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05390359 (Characterization of the Effects on Bioimpedance and the Sensorimotor System After the Application of Percutaneous Electrolysis Protocols on the Patellar Tendon.), which is not on this map.

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

objectivesConditioned pain modulation (CPM) and manipulation-induced analgesia (MIA) may activate similar neurophysiological mechanisms to mediate their analgesic effects. This study assessed the association between CPM and MIA responses in people with lateral epicondylalgia. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy participants with lateral epicondylalgia were assessed for CPM followed by MIA. A single assessor measured pressure pain thresholds (PPT) before, during, and after cold water immersion (10°C) of the asymptomatic hand and contralateral lateral glide (CLG) mobilization of the neck. For analyses, linear mixed models evaluated differences in CPM and MIA responses. Pearson partial correlations and regression analyses evaluated the association between CPM and MIA PPT.

resultsThere was a significant increase (CPM and MIA, P<0.001) in PPT from baseline during the interventions (CPM mean: 195.84 kPa for elbow and 201.87 kPa for wrist, MIA mean: 123.01 kPa for elbow and 126.06 kPa for wrist) and after the interventions (CPM mean: 126.06 kPa for elbow, 114.24 kPa for wrist, MIA mean: 123.50 kPa for elbow and 122.16 kPa for wrist). There were also significant moderate and positive partial linear correlations (r: 0.40 to 0.54, P<0.001) between CPM and MIA measures, controlling for baseline measures. Regression analyses showed that CPM PPT was a significant predictor of MIA PPT (P<0.001) and the models explained between 73% and 85% of the variance in MIA PPT. DISCUSSION: This study showed that CPM and MIA responses were significantly correlated and that the CPM response was a significant predictor of MIA response.
