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

introductionAlthough chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) predominantly affects large myelinated fibers, many patients have pain. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the current literature regarding CIDP with a particular focus on epidemiological and clinical characteristics of painful CIDP.

methodsA systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed database.

resultsOur search strategy identified 146 articles. Thirty-eight papers, reporting on 991 patients, met the inclusion criteria and were used for this review. The pooled estimate of the prevalence of pain at any point within the course of CIDP was 46% (95% CI 36-57%). Immune treatment of CIDP might be adequate as monotherapy for the management of pain. Treatment specific to pain currently shows effectiveness as adjuvant treatment when CIDP is treated and pain persists.

conclusionsPain in CIDP is an underexplored field. Future research should focus on the natural history, phenomenology, and management of pain in CIDP.
