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

A combined assessment tool for the perceptual-motor aspects of pain processing will be valuable to clinicians. Fifteen healthy subjects were exposed to contact-heat stimulation (Pathway, Medoc, Israel) to assess perception through a simple task (motor response or conscious appraisal of the time the stimulus was felt) or with a dual task (both responses). The outcome measure was the temporal relationship between contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPS), reaction time (RT) and conscious awareness (AW). There were different temporal profiles for CHEPs, RT and AW to changes in stimulus intensity, AW being the least affected. Performing the dual task led to a significantly more pronounced effect on RT than on AW, while CHEPS were not influenced by task performance. Our results support the dissociation between physiological, behavioral and cognitive events elicited by nociceptive stimuli. The time of conscious appraisal of stimulus occurrence is a complementary information to other responses such as evoked potentials or behavioral tasks. The combined assessment of physiological and behavioral aspects of pain processing may provide clinicians with information on the different paths followed by nociceptive afferent inputs in the central nervous system.
