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
Pain is a growing health problem with an increasing prevalence, and represents a large burden worldwide. Pain control can be achieved through pharmacological and non-pharmacological (such as exercise) interventions. The prolonged use of analgesics, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), is accompanied by numerous side effects. No previous studies have examined whether exercise may enhance the analgesic effect of NSAIDs. In the present study, the effect of ibuprofen and swimming exercise on nociception threshold were investigated using a rat model of inflammatory pain. A prophylactic swimming protocol and a treatment swimming protocol were used. In the two protocols, nociception was induced by intraplantar injection of Complete Freund's Adjuvant. The authors hypothesized that swimming exercise may enhance ibuprofen-induced antinociception. In the control group, nociception lasted for 17 days, and ibuprofen produced an antinociceptive effect at a dose of 32 mg/kg. However, swimming exercise enhanced ibuprofen-induced antinociception in the two swimming protocols. Notably, ibuprofen produced a significant increase in the nociception threshold at a dose of 10 mg/kg in the prophylactic swimming group. In addition, the duration of inflammation did not exceed 8 days under either swimming protocol. In conclusion, the combination of ibuprofen and swimming exercise was effective in controlling nociception in a rat model of inflammatory pain. Based on these observations, the combined use of exercise and ibuprofen may be a viable intervention for the control of chronic pain, and may decrease the potential for drug-induced side effects.
